A former cashier for The Home Depot who has been wearing a "One nation under God" button on his work apron for more than a year has been fired, he says because of the religious reference.

Does this upset you?
Well, it should because the problem is that this kind of thing has been on the rise and so few people are doing anything about it. from Islam being presented as a harmless worldview (for truth on this go to http://www.answeringmuslims.com/ or http://www.jihad-watch.org/ ) to a child being taken out of her home-school and forced to go to public school because a judge ruled she needed to get her faith "sifted!" For updates from an honest Christian perspective I’d go to http://www.askdrbrown.org/ <-radio show: line-of-fire radio, www.cbn.com/CBNNEWS/CWN/ or http://onenewsnow.com/ .
It is good to have a clear understanding of how our country (founded on Christian principles) is being aggressively attacked from all sides and most Christians are being passive and allowing the enemy to steal our land right from under our noses. This reminds me of the passage from Ephesians 5: 1-21 (I will post 11-14 but read full passage here http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=ephesians%205&version=NASB )
11Do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead even expose them;
12for it is disgraceful even to speak of the things which are done by them in secret.
13But all things become visible when they are exposed by the light, for everything that becomes visible is light.
14For this reason it says,

We are called to be light, therefore let us then raise up a cry to let people know what an evil plot the devil is carrying out for destroying the children of God created in His image. It starts with us first; allowing the Lord to have His way (John 15) and then we can change a world with the light of God and allowing people to see that Light shining on us, through us, and from us and they will desire that same freedom, purpose, completeness, and salvation we have in Christ. There are many ministries doing something about it, i.e. http://www.ihop.org/ , http://www.thecall.com/ , and http://www.coalitionofconscience.askdrbrown.org/ just to name a few. But they all point to prayer, fasting, and most importantly being connected to the Body of Christ. This is why I extend an invitation to Bible-study at my house on Saturdays or my friend’s house on Thursdays. This is why I have friends who are actively pleading with people in the streets to give their lives to Jesus every week. This is why I am pleading with Muslims in their own mosques to follow Jesus every Friday. This is why all of us should do similarly aggressive methods, if not then more. This isn’t a moment to say one is less of a Christian because they aren’t involved in street evangelism, but this is a call to acquire a holy anger about what is going on around us and most “Christians” are largely sleeping. This is a call to awaken a bride. Get involved some way or another. Prayer, fasting, preaching, teaching, mentoring, evangelizing at your workplace, short-term missions, just do something that will make an impact in this world.
This is why we do it, because of the price He paid for us:
