or suffer the consequences?Īs Baptists, we believe we are all human beings created in the image of God and deserving of respect no matter your race, ethnicity, or biological sex. So how long until the state requires your church, your Christian school, or your youth group to offer the same accommodations. That means, like in the case in Decatur city schools, those identifying as a gender different than their biological gender are being afforded the opportunity to share a bathroom, a locker room shower, and even share a bed for overnight field trips with students of the opposite sex.

There are currently bills introduced in the Georgia General Assembly that could become vehicles to usher in a series of Public Accommodation Laws that will put sexual orientation and gender identity on the same civil rights level as race and biological sex discrimination.

And every new case that is lost sets further precedent for future limitations on our free speech as Americans, and our duty as Christians. Even our college students are severely restricted to “free speech zones” to share their faith. Former Atlanta Fire Chief Kelvin Cochran, a Georgia Baptist, lost his job over it. Christian bakers, florists, photographers, and counselors have already been punished for holding to their religious convictions. I will go to jail before that happens!��� If you’re waiting to get jailed before you speak up for your religious freedoms, it’s too late.

You may say, “NOBODY is ever going to tell me what to preach from my pulpit.

Why? Because your ability to preach Biblical Morality and the Exclusivity of Jesus Christ in Missions and Evangelism is about to become severely hampered in ways you never dreamed of! It’s the issue of Religious Freedom Legislation. Like this granite, the impact of related legislation will spread (perhaps unnoticed) throughout our entire state – and even our nation. And as your public affairs representatives, Tom Rush and I are continually at work tackling those issues and being a voice for the people of the Georgia Baptist Convention.īut, there’s one issue that is foundational. There are issues that pop above the surface like gambling and marijuana, drinking and abortion legislation. This reminds me of what’s happening in our Georgia Capital. Stone Mountain is like the tip of an iceberg with the majority of its mass unseen, underground. Other reports say the stone goes seven miles deep.

It’s hard to pin down exactly how far that system spreads but some reports claim it goes throughout most of North Georgia – all the way to North Carolina. This granite is a continuation of the same system of granite that makes up Stone Mountain. Arabia Mountain is a seemingly endless plain of granite outside Lithonia that used to be a rock quarry.
