Another tweeted, beneath a picture of a decorated Bible, the Blaze found: “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. Luke 21:33 NIV.”

And another, beneath a picture of a Bible placed on an oak office desk: “Thankful as a school secretary I can bring my Bible to school without fear. #BringYourBible.”
