Recently, my husband and I watched a movie from 2011 called “The Freedom of Silence.” If you have never seen it, I urge you to do so as a family.
Here is the trailer:
The entire movie can be found on YouTube and Amazon Prime.
Families torn apart
I have spoken to many Christians who are absolutely heartbroken over family issues. And by that I mean children, siblings and many other relatives mocking us and treating us as if we are public enemy number one.
It’s happening in my own family. I refuse to hide my articles. They are written as a warning to the brethren. Members of my family read them and use them as weapons against me. I’m told that I write about bizarre conspiracy theories about Bill Gates, Fauci and the vaccine, among other things.
I am mocked and laughed at for believing not only in God, but in his saving Gospel of Jesus Christ. I know that many of us are experiencing these painful things. But brethren, didn’t Jesus tell us many times in the Gospels that this would happen?
“Do you suppose that I came to give peace on earth? I tell you, not at all, but rather division. For from now on five in one house will be divided: three against two, and two against three. Father will be divided against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law”
(Luke 12:51-53).
We are living this Scripture passage today. I am certain that Christians have been subjected to this for centuries, but because we are in the end times, these things are magnified and so very painful.

Beware the so-called “Equality Act”
Under the bill, Christian beliefs are unlawful. Churches could be prevented from requiring employees to abide by their Biblical beliefs about marriage and differences between men and women.
(Washington, DC) — [CBN News] The Equality Act is expected to advance in Congress this week. It’s a controversial bill designed to overhaul the nation’s civil rights laws to include LGBT Americans, but many worry it will trample on the rights of women and people of faith.

Under the Equality Act, disagreement is considered discrimination. It includes gay marriage, biological males competing in women’s sports, and doctors performing procedures—like gender reassignments—that go against their conscience.
It’s a bill President Joe Biden wants to sign during his first 100 days.
“The Equality Act provides long overdue federal civil rights protections for LGBTQ+ Americans, preventing discrimination in our housing, education, public services, and lending systems. I urge Congress to swiftly pass this historic legislation,” Biden tweeted.
However, the bill does much more.
“We can see it would immediately be stripping religious Americans and stripping girls and women of our equal rights,” Denise Harle, senior counsel with Alliance Defending Freedom, tells CBN News.
By redefining sex discrimination, the measure would provide for abortion on demand, likely end a longstanding prohibition on taxpayer funded abortions, and remove conscience protections for doctors and nurses.
Biological men would be allowed to compete in women’s sports effectively obliterating Title IX while girls and women would be forced to share locker rooms and bathrooms in schools and public places.
Harle says we don’t have to guess about the results, rather just look at cities and states that have already passed similar measures.
“In Alaska, the city of Anchorage had a law like this and punished a faith-based homeless shelter for battered women and actually forced them to allow biological men who identified as women to sleep and change clothes alongside these women, most of whom were victims of rape and sex trafficking and actually prosecuted (the shelter) under the law, trying to shut down this Christian shelter,” Harle explains.
She says the Equality Act allows for subjectivity, an issue Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) raised last summer on the Senate floor.
“If I go to interview in a job and I’m not hired I can sue that employer because I perceive they were thinking I was gay and so they didn’t hire me,” Lankford said during a speech last July.
“I don’t have to prove anything. It’s based simply on my perception or belief,” he continued.
Under the bill, Christian beliefs are unlawful. Churches could be prevented from requiring employees to abide by their Biblical beliefs about marriage and differences between men and women.
Alliance Defending Freedom is litigating a case in Virginia, a state that recently passed a law like the Equality Act.
“Churches are banned from having a dress code, having a code of conduct for their employees. Even asking in interviews if potential employees share core religious beliefs,” Harle says.
She and others opposed to the legislation say tolerance must be a two-way street.
“The Equality Act treats people of faith as second-class citizens. It specifies a certain point of view and it labels it as bigotry,” she says.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi wants a vote in the House this week where the measure is expected to pass overwhelmingly.
It will take 60 votes in the evenly divided Senate. At least one Democrat, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) opposes it, but it’s unclear how many Republicans might support it. Source
Brethren, Biden is opening a chapter in the lives of American Christians which will see many of us incarcerated and even worse. The Left knows that true Christians will never go against anything in the Word. They count on it.
Denying the Word of God is the same as denying Christ
This is when the sheep and the goats are separated. It comes down to this, brothers and sisters in Christ: Do we fear man or do we fear God?
“And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell”
Mattew 10:28
“If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also. But all these things they will do to you for My name’s sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me.
john 15:18-21
Keep your eyes on our Lord Jesus. These are events which very few of us thought would happen in our lifetimes.
But they are here, and God will give us the strength to endure.
He is always with us and will never abandon us.
Shalom B’Yeshua
MARANATHA!
I thank Jesus, I’m not of this world and I’m so grateful!
I agree.
We also have been told by our adult children to leave them alone with our ridiculous conspiracy theories. I don’t have words to say how painful this has been. It is if they have decided we don’t exist. We have not seen our 5 year old triplet grandsons since last March, because of corona fears. My precious 87 yr old mother took the vaccine, as my sister insisted. Now she is not well. Yes, my family is torn apart! I’ve cried a million tears. Prayer is our only hope!
It is so painful and I’m sorry that you are going through this as well. Jesus warned us of what was coming. When you describe what is happening in your family, it is exactly like mine!! Lord Jesus PLEASE COME for us!!
If I were not saved, I’d be very afraid of the direction of our country. Grateful that I know the end of the BOOK, which gives me peace. I just keep looking up. BTW, I’m a surviving child of the Holocaust, no, I’m not Jewish. As a result, I see clearly the depth of the coming horrors and depravity.
