| Do We Have Freedom Of Speech? |

Is it "free speech" when people who speak up for morality are called "judgmental" and labeled "radical" while people who flaunt profanity and disrespect are "protected by the First Amendment"?
Is it "free speech" when crude sex talk and pictures are everywhere but sincere, heart-felt references to Jesus Christ are almost non-existent in our public life?
Is it "free speech" when war support is considered a measure of patriotism and the sincere desire to save the lives of our men and women in uniform is considered unpatriotic and "not supporting our troops"?
Is it "free speech" when a UCLA psychiatrist must fear for her job when she writes a book about the health hazards of casual sex?
Is it "free speech" when criticizing a person's behavioral choice is called "hate speech"?
Is it "free speech" when cigarettes are criticized and kept off television because of their health risk while sexual immorality (which is far more dangerous than cigarettes) is constantly pictured and encouraged by our media?
Is it "free speech" when people are pressured by society to use the word "gay" instead of the word "homosexual" or the word "prochoice" instead of "promoting the right to kill unborn babies"?
Is it "free speech" when a system of "political correctness" is culturally imposed on people?
Is it "free speech" when people say I have no right to ask these questions -- even on my own blog?
Is it "free speech" when every kind of "lifestyle" is depicted on television with the exception of the "lifestyle" of sincere, honest, moral, God-loving, praying, upstanding, Bible-reading, caring people?
Isn't it time we get beyond the myth of free speech to the real thing? If you believe in morals, values, and a Christian lifestyle then take up "free speech". Begin to boldly and courageously speak up! Cast down the fear of men, political correctness, and other non-sense. Everybody else is speaking out, why not us? Now is the time. It is almost too late!
As the Bible says we should be "speaking the truth in love". If we don't speak out now, the day may soon come when our speaking out will be a crime! Please don't let that happen. Speak out while you can!!! |

There is no freedom of speech anywhere in the world. If it is not mixed with the views of the group, there will be an immediate rejection of the individual. This rejected speech will receive a name tag
on the speaker (he's gay, he cheated, new age, he's an ex this or that). This is why any successful speaker will almost always stand next to a flag of that party or you will see a hand shake of the leader of that party. Christian's must always here the name either God or Jesus in the speech before accepting an individual. An American flag imaged nearby is also a good image.
(99% of the acceptance is based on the first impression. This impression is based on certain "hook words" of the group. Allah is great. Is a must, first liner for Muslims. Jesus is Lord, is a must for most Christians. Name tags of believer or unbeliever are common in Christian communities.
Just the way it is. I am not making a statement against this culture. There is no such thing as free speech. There is a term called interpretation of Speech.
Truth is word based on interpretation of the individual group. Jesus is Truth. But still this Truth must appear in the form of the groups acceptance or language to be received. Morality is defined again by the individual groups. Not all immorality is the same on earth. In America a man can speak to a woman and it is not immoral to do so. Yet there are borders in which this action is considered immoral. One can only speak their version of Truth.

| We are free to speak, just be ready for the consequences. If you stand for righteousness be ready to be called every name in the book. But, thank the Lord we are still able to speak even if it is not received! |

The penalty of sin was obliterated at the cross........
Shout the cure from the house top,
do not shout the sickness.

| We have freedom of speech. We also have the freedom to word things in the manner in which Jesus would have us to. |

| Amen, Joey. Now we need to boldly use that freedom for Christ and His principles. |
