We've all heard the story about how if you put a frog in hot water he will jump out of the pot....but if you slowly turn up the heat of the water he won't know he is being cooked and will contentedly sit in the pot until it's too late.
A young Christian girl in Colorado was valedictorian of her class last year. She included a few brief sentences about Jesus in her speech and was told because of this infraction she would not be receiving her diploma. (freedom of speech only as long as you don't talk about your Savior.)
This week I hear on the news that many hotel chains will no longer allow Gideon Bibles in their rooms. (but they are considering adding condoms instead.)
We are told to start saying, "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas" or to buy the family a Dream tree instead of a Christmas tree.
Some schools in California are allowing students to recite Islamic prayers and to wear traditional Muslim garb to earn extra credit and are calling it "diversity". At the same time any reference to our founding fathers religion or mention of a Creator in textbooks is seen as archaic or at least not necessary.
The Ten Commandments are having to be removed from a lot of buildings. What will be next? The motto In God We Trust?
I don't know about you, but it seems to me every week there is something else on the news about how another part of our Judeo-Christian heritage is being taken away from us. In the name of political correctness, diversity, or tolerance we, as Christians are told not to be so "exclusive".
I just wonder if we will wake up one day and wonder what happened?
