Don't Be the Frog!

Today I was listening to the news on the radio as well as on the TV and I heard some things that makes me realize just what shape our nation is in at this time. My mind went right away to a story about a frog that was put in a pot of water on the stove then was slowly boiled to death without even realizing it. He was placed in the water when it was cold and then the heat was applied slowly to the pot. He was dying slowly but never jumped out because he was not aware of the danger since the water was cold when he went in the pot. Today we are the ones in the pot not the frog!

This nation was founded on godly principles by our founding forefathers because they knew that was the only way this nation would have God's blessings on it. In the 200 plus years we have existed as a nation, those foundations have been slowly eroded away and other things are taking their place. The sad truth is that the erosion of these truths has been slow and unseen by most people. When someone does cry out to warn people they are called fanatics or religious nuts. Men like Francis Schaeffer and Dr D James Kennedy are two that come to my mind right off the bat. Many people just say that they were religious nuts that are out to shove Christianity down people's throats. Actually they were warning us that our religious freedoms were being taken away under our very eyes and that most of us were blind to that fact. All one has to do is look at where we were lets say 30 years ago. Things that would have never been tolerated before are being accepted as normal and even considered mainstream. Yet when a believer speaks out to share the truth they are considered abnormal and are not tolerated by those who oppose them. Our "water" has slowly been getting hotter and most have no clue. I believe that we had better stand up for our faith and our freedoms before it is too late. When there is no one left to speak up for us it is too late.

I think it is time for us to stand up and make our voices heard. We can guarantee that we will have no religious freedoms simply by sitting back and doing nothing. It is time for this "frog" to get out of the water and stop being cooked. Frog legs maybe tasty but not to the frog!
