Chuck Colson: Redefining the first freedom

By Alliance Alert

Christian Post: "In a speech at Georgetown University, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton delivered a speech on human rights. Not only did she talk about the right 'to love in the way you choose,' (an obvious attempt at making protecting gay rights a top priority for the U.S. government), she also talked about 'freedom of worship.' ... Just this clever dissembling of words is an apparent attempt to restrict freedom of religion to freedom of worship only. Do you see the implications? Sure, I am free to attend church, sing hymns, pray over meals, offer thanks to God for my children and grandchildren. That?s my own private affair. But should the government succeed in redefining freedom of religion, how much longer can I practice my faith in public? See my Two Minute Warning to understand what this really means." | Related: Sarah Eekhoff Zylstra (Christian Today): 'Freedom of Worship' Worries | Ashley Samuelson (First Things): Why ?Freedom of Worship?
