Defiance! It's a word and an act that we see often these days. Most of the time, an act of defiance is considered a bad thing, but I just read about a case in which all out defiance is a the greatest thing to do.
We all know how stubborn and how relentless the ACLU is at attacking anything to do with the Christian faith. Well, recently they got a taste of their own medicine. The ACLU suffered from a stunning blow of defiance by a group of high school seniors. I bet that was embarrassing. Here's the story of why this great event happened and why you should encourage more of it:
Recently in Kentucky the ACLU sought to ban a prayer at a local high school graduation because of one complaint by a fellow student. A judge later declared that such a prayer at a graduation would be prohibited. Well, this is a typical ACLU scenario. They find a left wing judge to go along with their plot, and then the buzzards move in to feast on the prey. It has been happening like this for years, but this was no ordinary case. The ACLU and that judge really messed up when they decided to go picking on a bunch of defiant and highly energized teenagers.
So what happened next you ask? I must say the greatest thing that has happened to the ACLU since Christmas carolers sang in front of their national headquarters at Christmas time. This group of teenagers decided to take control of the situation and say the prayers regardless of what any judge or ACLU lawyer said. Not only did they defy the orders of the court and the ACLU, but they had cheering crowds to urge them to continue with their prayers. Some students stood up to quote the Lord's Prayer to a standing ovation. So much for the ACLU petty lawsuits eh?
This event just goes to show how much the word "NO" really means when many unite for a great cause. Like the title of the article says, "No is the only answer" sometimes and we must continue to make examples out of those who wish our faith dead. The ACLU got put to shame in this event and if only we would triple this effort worldwide, perhaps we could bring the ACLU to its knees once and for all and show them that communism is dead and will remain dead for as long as conservatives exist.
We must prove to them that their pathetic lawsuits and corrupt justices mean nothing to a defiant group of conservatives that stand united for freedom and real justice.
