Is martyrdom coming to America?
When the State assumes military powers inside its own borders it is called martial law.
When that State is apostate that martial law can quickly become a persecution of the Christian church.
Even if the above example is not a good one, it remains true that when the Church refuses to obey its Lord, and instead chooses to obey Mammon, then the goose stepping soldiers are at the door.
Some have said, “Its the Economy, Stupid.”

And if the culture goes bad, well then ….
Matthew 5:13
13 “You are the salt of the earth; but if salt has lost its taste, how can its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything, but is thrown out and trampled under foot.

All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.
Thomas Jefferson
I own that I am not a friend to a very energetic government. It is always oppressive.
My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.
Thomas Jefferson
A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine.

Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Thomas Jefferson
