I AM NOT ASHAMED!
At a Tennessee Football Game—no joke
At a Tennessee Football Game—not a joke
Christianity is now the target of persecution…
THIS IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS!
GOD BLESS EVERYONE WHO READS THIS AND PASSES IT ON.
I FIND IT INTERESTING THAT A HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL CAN SEE THE PROBLEM, BUT OUR SOCIETY CANNOT.
Tennessee Football
This is a statement that was read over the PA system
at the football game atRoane County High School, Kingston,
Tennessee, by school principal, Jody McLeod
“It has always been the custom at Roane County High School
football games, to say a prayer and play the
National Anthem, to honor God and Country.”
Due to a recent ruling by the Supreme Court,
I am told that saying a Prayer is a violation of
Federal Case Law. As I understand the law at
this time, I can use this public facility to
approve of sexual perversion and call it “an
alternate life style,”and, if someone is offended,
that’s OK.
I can use it to condone sexual promiscuity, by dispensing
condoms and calling it, “safe sex.”
If someone is offended, that’s OK.
I can even use this public facility to present the merits of
killing an unborn baby as a “viable” means of
birth control.”
If someone is offended, no problem…
I can designate a school day as “Earth Day” and involve students in activities to worship religiously and praise
the goddess, “Mother Earth”, and call it
“ecology..”
I can use literature, videos and presentations in the
classroom that depicts people with strong, traditional
Christian convictions as
“simple minded” and “ignorant”
and call it “enlightenment..”
However, if anyone uses this facility to honor GOD and to
ask HIM to bless this event with safety and good
sportsmanship, then Federal Case Law is violated.
This appears to be inconsistent at best, and at worst,
diabolical.
Apparently, we are to be
tolerant of everything and anyone, except GOD
and HIS Commandments.
Nevertheless ,
as a school principal, I frequently ask staff
and students to abide by rules with which they
do not necessarily agree.
For me to do otherwise would be inconsistent at
best, and at worst, hypocritical.
I suffer from that affliction enough unintentionally.
I certainly do not need to add an intentional
transgression.
For this reason, I shall “Render unto Caesar
that which is Caesar’s,”
and refrain from praying at this time.
“However, if you feel inspired to honor, praise and thank GOD
and ask HIM, in the name of JESUS, to bless this
event, please feel free to do so ..
As far as I know, that’s
not against the law–yet.”
One by one,
the people in the stands
bowed their heads, held hands with one another
and began to pray.
They prayed in the stands.
They prayed in the team huddles.
They prayed at the concession stand and
they prayed in the Announcer’s Box!
The only place they didn’t pray was in the Supreme Court
of the United States of America-
the Seat of “Justice”
in the “one nation,
under GOD.”
Somehow,
Kingston, Tennessee,remembered
what so many have forgotten.
We are given the
Freedom OF Religion,
not
the Freedom
FROM
Religion
Praise GOD
that HIS remnant remains!
JESUS said,”If you are ashamed of ME before men, then I will be ashamed of you before MY FATHER..”
