Matthew 10:33 New American Standard Bible 1995 “33 But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven.”
Matthew 12:30 New American Standard Bible 1995 “30 He who is not with Me is against Me; and he who does not gather with Me scatters.”
“A Michigan county board stopped holding prayers before legislative meetings last month, and a Christian conservative legal organization argued that the board caved under incomplete information from a secularist nonprofit, despite the Supreme Court's repeated approvals of the longstanding practice.
The Leelanau County Board of Commissioners voted 5-2 in January to remove the prayer portion of their meeting after the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF), which advocates for atheists, agnostics, and promotes the separation of church and state, sent them a letter in September urging them to end the practice. https://www.foxnews.com/us/michigan-county-caves-pressure-holding-prayers-legislative-meetings
You may think that this is a Church versus State issue but it is truly a issue of your heart versus God.
Christians throughout the world today are sacrificing their lives and will not surrender their belief in the Lord Jesus Christ and His Father. To them the sacrifice that Jesus made for them and what lies ahead for them is greater than life in this world.
The Leelanau County Board of Commissioners caved to Satan. Our fight is not human, “12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.” Ephesians 6:12 New American Standard Bible 1995
If these Commissioners claim to be Christian, they need to take a deeper look at their hearts.
