Do reglious people still persecute others?
(originally written in 1997)

For several years our church had a Sunday afternoon broadcast on a local radio station. For almost 30 years, the station had been country-western station. On Sundays, they played gospel music and had preaching all day. In mid-1994 someone bought the station and decided to make it a full-time "Christian" station. Well, from the start we could tell that it was going to be more ecumenical than anything, because they played almost any music that called itself Christian, even rock-n-roll. They still took ads for events that were sponsored by beer companies. We also noticed that they wanted to allow anyone on the air who claimed to be called to preach, whether it be a woman, a Pentecostal, a Methodist, a "non-denominational," whatever. No matter whether you had one wife or forty-eight, as long as you paid the money, you could preach. They also emphasized that they were now "Love radio." Yes, tolerant, compromising, no-stance-on-anything, I-wouldn't-yell-snake-if-it-was-around-my-neck love!

Our church has been preaching on the streets since Autumn of 1991. Our ministry has involved handing out tracts on the street, holding scripture signs, and, of course, preaching. Besides the usual heckling and obscene gestures, we had virtually no trouble from anyone - until June of 1996.
What changed?
To put it simply, two things changed: the content of our signs, and the location where we hold them.
First, we changed the content of our signs. Instead of just having signs that said, "Jesus saves" and such (which are all very good), we added some new signs. They were these:

* If you died TODAY, would you be in heaven or hell?
* How can ye escape the damnation of Hell? (Matt 23:33) Repent ye, and believe the gospel! (Mark 1:15)
* Homosexuality is abomination according to God's Word.
* Three gay rights: AIDS, Hell, or salvation
* If a man lie with a man as with a woman, both have committed abomination.
* Is your sin really worth going to hell over?
* Pro-choice = dead babies
* Murder is not a choice.

Just after the 1995 bombing of the federal building in Oklahoma City, it seems there were many questions we asked of ourselves and even of God Himself. I would like to address our perplexity with some answers from God's Word.
