persecution in america

The persecution of genuine Christians, particularly those who openly share their faith, has already begun here in the United States and will wax worse and worse. Posted below, you will find clear evidences of this. Notice the ignorance and willful disregard of Constitutional law by law enforcement;  ’tis simply astounding.  It seems as if silencing the Gospel and stamping out those who proclaim it publicly is the only acceptable form of “hate crime” in America.  In reality, however, the real hate crime is to know the Gospel of Jesus Christ and yet fail to warn the wicked of the coming judgment.  Even in the face of persecution, genuine believers must not keep silent.  May it be said of us, “we also believe, therefore we speak” (II Corinthians 4:13).’

Awake, true Christians; sound the alarm: Unapologetic and biblically sound preaching and witnessing is coming under persecution in the United States.  We must accept this as a way of life in delivering a prophetic message (II Timothy 3:12); realize that our commission from the Lord is not dependent upon outward circumstances (Mark 16:15-16); marvel not that the world hates the believer (I John 3:13); and keep preaching, in season and out of season (II Timothy 4:2).

Be vigilant, for many who claim to be “Christians,” some of which sit beside you in church on Sunday, will be the very ones that soon turn you over to the authorities and rejoice at the apparent silencing of the Gospel, thinking they do God service (John 16:1-4).  But, “the word of God is not bound” (II Timothy 2:9).

May the things posted here shake you into reality, make you sorrowful for our once-great nation, and compel you to hold fast the profession of your faith without wavering (Hebrews 10:23).  We make no apologies for exposing the lunacy and ridiculous reasonings displayed by law enforcement, fellow “Christians,” and/or public figures below.  While freedom of speech and freedom of the press still exists, such foolishness needs be made public.  The USA is not the USSR, yet!

boyd brothers arrested in hickory, nc

In 2008, Jesse & Matthew Boyd were arrested and charged with trespassing, simply for distributing Gospel tracts on public property at an event open to the general public. The charges were eventually dropped, and the Gospel has been furthered in the area as a result. Nevertheless, the fact that this even took place is frightening. The police officers involved should have been terminated, and their superiors should have been soundly reprimanded. This was in small-town America, of all places. Below, are the posts FPGM put forth regarding this incident back in 2008:

• Arrested in Hickory (6/27/2008)
• Hickory, the Pressure is On(7/2/2008)
• Hickory Saturated Again (7/5/2008)
• Dangerous Statements out of Hickory (7/21/2008)

two preachers arrested in south dakota on public campus

FPGM has labored and suffered with both of these precious brothers, and we have preached on this very campus without incident. This case went to court, and both were found guilty by a judge (not a jury of their peers) of the charges leveled against them in 2008. Each had to pay a fine. The judge who ruled in this case should be impeached and never allowed to sit on any judicial bench again. FPGM publicized the following back when this took place: Sounding Another Alarm (10/29/2008)

gentle preacher arrested at the liberty bell

In October of 2007, Michael. Marcavage, head of Repent America, was arrested while preaching on a public sidewalk outside the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He was found guilty of the charges against him, but the verdict was eventually overturned by the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals. The federal government tried to refile the case against Mr. Marcavage, but this, by God’s grace, was subsequently denied by the same Court of Appeals. FPGM has labored and suffered with this precious brother who has an amazing ability to proclaim hard truth with a gentle spirit.

police physically assault christians in philadelphia

At a pro-homosexual march in Philadelphia, a group of preachers were attempting to share the Gospel. Michael Marcavage of Repent America was shoved by one of the homosexuals, and then the police followed up by assaulting the Christians. No arrests were made; nevertheless, the police intimidation is vomit-inducing.

street preacher arrested in easton, pennsylvania

In July of 2010, at a Heritage Fest celebrating America’s heritage of freedom, this abominable incident took place. The vocal policeman in this video displays a profound ignorance of the law, claims that the word “hell” is not free speech, and argues that city ordinances take precedence over federal law. This officer should be terminated immediately. Alas, American Christians, our police have become Gestapo; and our Constitution isn’t worth the paper its written upon in the eyes of local, state, and federal governmental authorities. God save the United States!
