The Supreme Court is hearing an issue submitted by Hastings College of California in regard to the funding of Christian campus organizations that exclude individuals such as practicing homosexuals. These organizations have in the past applied for school support for their organizations but this may be stopped in the future. The Christian groups may still meet on campus but be excluded from school financial support. The next step will be to exclude them from meeting on the campuses. We should not be surprised. Such exclusion from this financial help is really an attempt to reign in Christian groups and make them "pay" for their moral stand and spiritual position. We should expect more such moves to come about in the market place. I don't think we have seen the worse yet! The world hates the Lord, His Messiah, and us. (See Psalm 2.) This reminds me of what happened in Nazi Germany as the secular world increased its pressure on Christianity. Pastors were jailed and the average Christian was black balled! --Dr. Mal Couch (Mar., 10) |
