~ Again.. confirmation.. the reading aloud of the word of God.. in our homes and in public... brought to mind years ago when God put it in my heart to sit on a bench in the mall and read the entire book of John aloud... the reaction of ppl wa...s interesting.. but the ground was claimed.. yrs later as my children took jobs there, God kept them time and time again... at the time he had me read it, he didnt explain why... perhaps to keep my kids as well as many other.reasons he will tell me about some day.. feel like he is stirring this up again... reading of the word publically and the claiming of ground for the glory of God.

Hostility against Christian Americans is growing at an alarming rate, according to a new survey from the Family Research Council and Liberty Institute.
The Liberty Institute's Jeff Mateer noted that while last year's survey was based on 600 cases, "this survey that we're releasing right now is almost 1,200. So we've almost doubled in just one year."
One such case involved college student Audre...y Jarvis, who was asked twice to remove her cross, or at least hide it, at a student orientation.
"My supervisor came up to me out of nowhere and asked me to remove my cross necklace because he thought it would be offensive to incoming freshmen," she recalled.
Jarvis received an apology from her college, but couldn't forget how hurtful the man was who found her cross so objectionable.
"I think he was just kind of ignorant to the fact that his words could offend me in attempting to not offend somebody else," she said.
In another case, Air Force Senior Master Sgt. Phillip Monk got in trouble with his lesbian commanding officer when she ordered him to answer how he felt about gay marriage.
"This is about religious freedom because I expressly stated that I had a religious conviction that wouldn't allow me to answer the question the way it was posed to me," Monk said.
Former NFL running back Craig James found himself a victim of growing anti-faith sentiment when just one hour into a new job as a FOX Sports analyst, he was booted off the air.
James and the Liberty Institute insist it was because a top network manager disapproved of a statement James made about gay marriage 15 months before in a political debate.
"They knew who I was, what I stood for," James told CBN News. "And I'm being punished -- I was fired -- for my religious beliefs."
FOX says James just wasn't a good fit, but Liberty Institute is fighting to get James his job back.
"This is not about Craig James," the former NFL running back said. "This is about an American who had a job and someone came back -- a big corporation -- and said, 'Hey, we can't allow you on our network because of your belief and definition of what marriage is.'"
With some 1,200 cases like these documented in the new Religious Hostility Survey, Mateer says he's frightened for his country.
