Franklin Graham Challenges Christians to Break this New Law
Many Christians never thought this day would come in America, where they are told they cannot pray at work. But football coaches across the nation (and presumably all other coaches) have just been told that it is now against the law to pray or make any sort of religious gesture on the field.
"A three-judge panel ruled the Bremerton School District was justified in suspending Coach Joe Kennedy after he took a knee and prayed silently at midfield after football games," shares Fox.
"When Kennedy kneeled and prayed on the fifty-yard line immediately after games while in view of students and parents, he spoke as a public employee, not as a private citizen, and his speech therefore was constitutionally unprotected," the 9th Circuit wrote.
Franklin Graham has just issued a bold challenge to Christian coaches across the nation (and has also encouraged other Christians to support them) to defy the new law and pray anyway in a strong show of faith.
What Franklin Graham is asking is a lot, but it is not anti-biblical. Daniel was commanded not to pray to any other god but his ruler, and he defied the law, continuing to pray to God as he normally did. He did face intense repercussions (being thrown into the lion's den), but God showed His power to Daniel and the nation in mighty ways.
Todd Starnes shared that First Liberty Institute attorney Jeremy Dys told him, "Now all coaches across the country stand under the prospect of being prevented from engaging in any outward displays of religion. That includes crossing yourself or even taking a knee to pray."
"The 9th Circuit believes they can ban all coaches from praying individually in public just because they can be seen," Dys said. "That is simply wrong. It is not American. And it is not the America contemplated by our Constitution."
This new law rings eerily after Trump's spiritual advisor just shared that she believed had Trump not become president, the American Christian Church would be forced to go underground within 5 years.
What do you think of Graham's challenge to coaches to pray anyways? Do you think coaches should do it? Share your thoughts and prayers for the coaches in the comments! Thank you! And let others know about this to stand in solidarity with the coaches!

My comments: The godless, Socialist, Secular Humanists, represented by this Vile Court, want a TYRANNY. They are agaist God and His Word, and therefore against Christianity. They want to IMPOSE their godless RELIGION on the entire Nation. Christians must DEFY this Unconstitutional Edict.
