No good deed goes unpunished

Over the last 50 years, Christians have done great work in mission work, building hospitals, clinics, schools, health care places. Yet, in the Third World, they are constantly under attack; even getting themselves killed. Whether it is Islamos, terrorists of other brands, Christians are under attack. And in our own nation, there is a real media war on Christ and Christianity. City councils often punish Christian churches in land, sign, tax , parking matters. Yet, the Church presses on. Even a small-fry church like ours continues to push on trying to convince the community that churches are not the enemies of the populace but their neighbors and friends. Sure, Christians make mistakes in communication and fellowship but with all the snits and foul-ups, the Christian community is still the best thing for a free society like ours here in America. Home schooling is hugely supported by Christians. It was the Christian Church which really ended slavery in this nation. It built schools and libraries. It built hospitals here too. Then too we have many of the new media who support Christianity as far as family values and ethics. There are many , many Christian bloggers not only on spiritual issues, but on economic, educational and political issues. Talk Radio has many Christian supporters. Still, the Left in this nation keep attacking Christian speakers, churches, bloggers, and politicians. Films, TV, media all seem to punish Christians for just being Christian . But, some of these people forget that Christians also vote. This is an election year. Secularism, leftism, may be surprised if Christians go out and vote to stop the downward spiral and punishment of our nation's values, foundations, and ethics. Of course, Christians could also not vote. Thereby giving the opponents of the Church free reign to impose their values on America. That would be a disaster!
