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 developers of a Bible-themed park in Sioux City, Iowa have announced they rejected a $140,000 grant from the state after the anti-Christian Freedom From Religion Foundation made harassing complaints.
Vision Iowa, a group aimed at renovating and rehabilitating green spaces within the state, had offered a $140,000 grant to the park’s designers for trees, plants and other non-religious parts of the park. That wasn’t good enough for the anti-Christian group FFRF, who said that any funding given to a public park that might have a religious element is a violation of church and state.
The board of the Shepherd’s Garden told the Des Moines Register they just want to build the park and not be in the middle of frivolous lawsuits.
The FFRF celebrated the decision to harm the Christian park by having the funds withdrawn, claiming it was a “victory for the separation of church and state.”
The good news in the story is that after the word of the anti-Christianists actions hit the news, private donors provided a significant increase in funding that should allow for completion of the park in September.
Praise be to Jehovah God who always comes to the rescue of HIS people when we stand together.
GOOD FOR THEM! FINALLY SOMEONE IS STANDING US FOR JESUS INSTEAD OF TAKING MONEY!! PRAISE GOD
Praise The Lord !!! God always makes a way where it seem to be no way. Gid bless the people who came against it…
The first amendment does not prohibit state or local governments from supporting Bible based groups and actives.
iT’S TIME CHRISTIANS STAND FOR WHAT IS RIGHT! PRAISE THE LORD FOR THIS!!!!
Woo Hoo!!! Isn’t God just so good that way?! I love Him more each day!!!
So happy to hear that this park will be built in spite of the anti-Christianists’ action to stop it. Good people chose to do something to bring this park to fruition and many will benefit from the action of these private donors. May we continue as a nation on the right path of turning back to our God and acknowledging Him in all our ways!! As we humble ourselves, pray and seek His face He will hear from Heaven, will forgive our sins and heal our land!!! 2 Chronicles 7:14. Praise the Lord oh my soul and bless His Holy name!!
Praise The Lord!!!!!!!!
