Such as allowing the murder of children?

You see, it is OUR FAULT that things have gotten as bad as they are already.  
If the church does not take a stand, then who will?  Ok, let them take God 
out of all education and then wonder why schools are so dangerous.  

Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God 
had made.

As Satan can change himself into an angel of light, so did he abuse the wisdom 
of the serpent to deceive man.

We are either for God or against Him.  We have to open up our mouths and speak 
the Word of God, show compassion for the lost, and represent Jesus to the 
World.  

There is no grey area.
