The Criminalization of Christianity

Jul 5–6, 2007 - comments: 5

Today we’d like to welcome Janet Folger to the program. She is very active in the pro-life movement and is president of Faith 2 Action, which assists nearly 100 pro-life and pro-family groups in the fight for life, liberty and family. Janet is also host of Faith 2 Action, a one hour radio program. She is the author of The Criminalization of Christianity, and she joins us to tell of the legal obstacles Christians face today.

Janet will challenge your hearts and minds as she explains how Christianity is becoming increasingly under attack. As you listen today, we hope you will be motivated to get involved in the battle for biblical principles, so that our country can return to a place where God’s commands are taken seriously.

Janet’s powerful message is one that needs to be heard and a message that motivates us to action. She shares in her book of when she lived in Florida during the 2000 presidential election. As she spent time counting ballots, she saw people praying. They were praying in the recount waiting area, outside one of the operation centers, and kneeling in the street outside a courthouse. People were serious about getting in touch with God, and we today must be just as serious as we plead with our Father in Heaven to change us and change our nation.

I was really blessed by hearing the program featuring Janet Folger, author of the book, The Criminalization of Christianity,” who is taking a bold and informative stand for the truth of God’s word and way.  Who stands as a voice for many of us-- I do pray as she requested for her to continue to operate in the wisdom, discernment of the Holy Spirit and that our God will continue to grant her his strategy and resources to take land for Jesus.  Much love & prayers to the faith and family broadcast and all it’s members who make the radio broadcast possible and who is an awesome resource of information in maintaining our values from which this country was founded on and preserving the way of life which God prescribed for us for His glory. I say to you, Having done all to stand.... Stand my brothers and sisters until the day of Jesus Christ our Lord.

One in Christ,

I truly enjoyed hearing Janet’s stand for the truth.  I will soon be purchasing her book.  She can help us all to get motivated to stand for what is right! We need her to be on more programs and speak at various functions.  The way she gets the truth across really helps bring home the truth of how we are being misled, and conforming to ways and laws that are not in favor to our beliefs as Christians who love our heritage here in America.

Blessings to all.

Fabulous, Outstanding.

It was quite refreshing to hear someone who understands what we face, and is on fire to do something about it.

I will be trying to contact Janet.  I have a Godly strategy which will knock her socks off.

Thank you.

I think religion and politics don’t mix. I think it is almost blasphemous to boil religion down to politics.

Laws are created out of values and political philosophy, not religious beliefs.

Gay rights, if created, abortion laws, and free speech laws allow people to sin. But they also allow people to do the right thing. It allows for choice. Just because abortion is legal doesn’t mean it is criminal not to get one.

I am pro-choice but I think abortion is a sin and I would never condone anyone getting one. However, legally, I think in the first three months the rights of the mother comes first, and she has the right to chose. I can’t make her do the right thing, she has to make the choice for herself. Thats what it means to be an American. You can make choices.

A Christian nation will be no better off then a Muslim nation. Death, persecution or mandated religious beliefs of non-believers is bad no matter who the god is that is being pushed on the minds of free peoples.
