Chuck Colson Predictied This

September 11, 2015

Chuck Colson, who went to prison as part of the Watergate events during the Nixon administration and later became a Christian leader and founder of such organizations as Prison Fellowship, wrote a book before he died called "My Final Word: Holding Tight to the Issues that Matter." Colson died in 2012, but what he wrote pertains to the Kim Davis situation.

Kim Davis and Religious Freedom: Chuck Colson Predicted This

Colson speaks to us from the past regarding a dust up between Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia and the Washington Post. Scalia scandalized the left when he publicly stated that as a Christian, he actually believed in the resurrection of Jesus. Shocker. The press exploded, and a journalist even said he wasn't fit for the court.

Colson, as was his gift, cut right to the crux: "If people like Scalia or Clarence Thomas take seriously their faith, then by definition they're disqualified. The only way people of faith could get by … would be to denounce their own faith. In other words, to keep quiet about what they really believe."

He goes on, "What Scalia's critics are really after is preventing Christians from expressing truth claims in public. That's where we're going to see the real anti-Christian bias over the next few years."

Stealth Christianity is certainly what culture and even the US government is pressuring believers to embrace today. County clerks, judges and local officials are confronted with the dilemma today when faced with their entanglement in Supreme Court sanctioned same-sex "marriage." The most public of cases is a Kentucky clerk named Kim Davis.

Davis is not asking for much. She's not endangering or threatening gay couples in any way. She's not bursting into bedrooms to prosecute homosexuality. She's not blocking every alternative a gay couple has from getting a license, as there are options for a gay couple to still obtain one. She's not even differentiating between straight and gay couples, because she's stopped issuing licenses entirely. With her refusal, the couple's lives change little. With their insistence, her life changes much. She's lost in court. She's spent time in jail.

Chuck Colson spoke of "the need for Christians to refuse to buckle under attempts to force them to keep silent about their beliefs — or worse, attempts to force them to deny those beliefs."
