Anti-Christianists Force End To Teacher Lead Prayer

Mark 13:13 “You will be hated by all because of My name, but the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.”

The vehement anti-Christian Freedom From Religion Foundation has coerced an Indiana school district to ban staff from leading prayer.

The group said an anonymous person contacted them about a teacher leading prayer at a school-sponsored event.  Teacher Jeffrey Burress confirmed he lead a prayer at Sarah Scott Middle School at an awards ceremony.

“The district should make certain that teachers in its schools are not unlawfully and inappropriately indoctrinating students in religious matters by encouraging them to engage in prayer,” the anti-Christian group wrote in a letter to the school.

School superintendent Daniel Tanoos said that he disagreed with the actions of the group but that the school’s lawyer said the move had to be done.  Tanoos said he would allow students to lead prayer at events if they choose to do so because that is constitutional.

The FFRF has been targeting Christians around the nation that lead or participate in prayers in public schools.

  1. It’s against the law for teachers to lead prayers for a reason- so government cannot force religion on people. ANY religion. If you think Christian teachers should be able to lead prayers at school even though not all the students may be Christian, then it must be OK with you for a Muslim teacher to lead all the students in prayer without regard to their religion.

  2. When are Christians going to stand up and get some backbone and obey God and His Commands no matter what the cost to us personally and no matter who stands against us? Daniel did and God saved him from those trying to kill him. Queen Esther did and she said, “I will come before the king, which is against the law; and if I perish, I perish! How can I endure to see the evil that will come to my people? Or how can I endure to see the destruction of my countrymen?” Her uncle said to her, “Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”

    Godly people standing up and continuing to do what they have always done is how Almighty God will make Himself known as Almighty and Living God to those defying Him. God is for us, so who can be against us? NO ONE!

    Come on Christians! Be Bold and Courageous as a Lion because God is with us in standing against evil and in continuing to pray to Him asking for His Mercy and Help to stand in His LOVE and be strong.

    We must obey Romans 13 and yet obey Living God rather than man. God will help us as we step out in FAITH believing He is with us and is helping us and then DO what He commands us to do: Live Holy lives and TRUST His Love to help us in our dire times of NEED. Prayer is our RIGHT and COMMAND from God to do and we must continue on praying as Daniel and Esther did and NEVER give up just as they never gave up!
