Read this and other attacks on faith from Weekly Prayer Update 5/1-5/8
“…President Donald Trump signed an executive order on religious freedom. At his press conference, he delivered forceful remarks that many conservatives have longed to hear from the president, “[n]o American should be forced to choose between the dictates of the federal government and the tenets of their faith.” And the order itself includes similar language, “Federal law protects the freedom of Americans and their organizations to exercise religion and participate fully in civic life without undue interference by the Federal Government.” Read more here.
There is a number of court cases that, if the rulings go the wrong way, could set dangerous precedents as it relates to our First Amendment Rights. Would you and/or your church or prayer group be willing to fast a meal a day, or a day a week until May 12th in order to see victory in every one of the upcoming court cases (and other important cases not listed)? This is a critical season, and we must see breakthrough.
Also, of course, we want to continue to pray for the bills that are pro-religious freedom to be signed into law; and those that oppose our First Amendment Rights to be unsuccessful.
For anyone who thinks religious discrimination is non-existent in America, the attorneys at First Liberty Institute have a different story. First Liberty announced the release of Undeniable: The Survey of Hostility to Religion in America (2016). It is available online here, free of charge.
