Now that it is coming to the point of stand for what God teaches or lose your job, your home or even your freedom – as in jail – here in America, it will be interesting to see how many people are Christians-in-name-only.
This may be seen as more political than I normally allow The Christian Geek to be, however this is extremely relevant to the scope of the site.
