Are you ready?

Today a story hit the wires about a Christian student who was expelled from Graduate school in Psychology for not changing her belief that homosexuality is wrong. And so it begins. I can hear the reasoning now: "We in the psychology community know what is right. Christians are wrong (and wrong-headed) and must be prevented from counseling if they insist on letting their beliefs influence that counseling. It is a matter of protecting the integrity of our profession." Wait until that same reasoning is used in medicine (abortion is a right and anyone personally opposed must be barred from practicing medicine), in the law (same argument, among others), police work (when we tell you to break up a church meeting, you must do it), and the list goes on. What do we do about it? Well, of course, the ballot box is still available, at least for now. But we must also prepare ourselves. The main reason Christianity was superseded by Islam was not so much the threat of death, since that was usually not a problem, but the threat of higher taxes! We must decide in advance whether we will choose Christ or our comfort. We may find ourselves second-class citizens if we insist on living out our beliefs. Be warned!
