Live from Grace Community Church in Houston -- one of the affected churches -- "I Stand Sunday" will focus on what's happening there and discuss how Houston is a bellwether for the rest of America.

Under Obama, ‘Religious Freedom’ Is Redefined As ‘Freedom Of Worship’

/
The Obama Administration is relentlessly attacking the First Amendment’s guarantee of religious freedom by redefining it in narrow terms as “freedom of worship.” In other words, the Obama regime is willing to grant Christians the right to worship in their churches, but not express religious convictions or beliefs in the workplace or any other place outside of the confines of the church.
