You're right. It's not as far-fetched as some may think. I'm seen it coming for a long time. I hope I have the courage to stand fast if I'm ever tortured.

Thank you for the excellent review and deep, insightful comments. I think all Christians should realize this is happening right now all over the world.The media seldom reports it. I, too, hope to stand on the day described and have the same courage I wrote about.
All my best,

What an unsettling short story you have written.... where are the ones about the grandkids???? lol As Christians, we all have to be ready to give the answer... Let's pray that there is a change in our nation.

Thank you for the excellent review, dear Melissa. My family is here this week and my son who is the father of my grandkids is a Pastor. He spent a year in China and fled the country because of persecution. We talk openly among ourselves about what we see transpiring in our nation. They all read this, and thought it was outstanding. They can see the hatred for those with values forming in America. Our grandsons were just baptized last summer into Christ by their dad, making a public profession of their faith. All my grandkids are Christians and attend Christian co-op schools and are homeschooled. Sophia can hardly wait to be baptized and follow Jesus. It is really sweet to see my faith passed to all my children. It may be tested in the days ahead, just like Jesus said it would be.
All my best,
Sal :+)

You said what you wrote in your introduction of your flash fiction contest entry is very good good and I hope what you are saying (Never will happen)
Those with morals and values are already being persecuted in the public setting; denied free speech and peaceful assembly. It continues to progress. Gert

Thank you for the excellent review and critique, dear Gert. I believe it is happening now and progressing quickly to be like this future scene implies. I see a rise in Christian persecution all the world and here in the United States. My future story is not at all far fetched.
All my best,

You are welcome Sally Law
where did I as you said, that I critiqued you writing. Gert
Comment from Donka Kristeva
A well thought story of the decline of Christian values. it painfully reminds of course of another so-called trial, ending in crucifixion. And Jesus prophesied that those who are his followers will suffer persecution. I sometimes pray for the very few Christians in the Middle East who have faced death or are to be condemned. And I knew a Christian from ex communist Bulgaria who was threatened with death many times.

My pleasure, Sally. I was not sure if I had offended you with a previous comment without a review. I am glad you answered. Yes, I had a refreshing time at the sunny beach and an opportunity to meditate on the infinitude, goodness and constancy of God!
Blessings

I am not offended nor ever will be. Love you dear Donka. Sally

Thank you for the excellent outstanding review and insightful comments. Yes, I do see a rise in Christian hatred and even towards those with conservative values. My non-Christian friends see it, too. Jesus stood for us and we may be called to testify before men. Time will tell. In the meantime, I live, love and write.
Love u sweet friend,
Sal xo

I so agree with you sweet girl...and yes...time will tell...your soooo welcome...love you...Linda xxoo
Comment from JudyE
A worthy entry. Would you say 'Due process was gone' or 'Due process was done? I'm not sure.
And this line: I looked him in the eyes. "I am as you say." I might have made it 'I am as they say." as we don't actually hear the judge say she is Christian, etc.
Good luck in the contest.

I agree with you completely. Good job of stating just what it could be like in this country some day. That day might not be too far off. Thanks for sharing, God bless always.

Comment from lyenochka
Well, compared to Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and North Korea, I don't think it's that bad. Here even the politicians who are not believers, pretend to be Christians in order to gain more votes.
Comments:
"I stood before the judge still in handcuffs."
Grammatically, we should put clauses closest to the noun we want to describe. So in this order, it sounds like the judge is in handcuffs. So it's better as : I stood, still in handcuffs, before the judge. Or. Still in handcuffs, I stood before the judge.
"The jury was compiled of those with no souls, or a drop of compassion. " (comprised)

Comment from LovnPeace
It will in time be the only reality. It is just part of times to come. It is written in the Bible in God's inspired words. At end time which is upon us, this and much more will befall true Christians. The dividing truth will be those who follow His commandments, including the fourth. Keep The seventh day (Saturday) Holy. He didn't change the day of worship, man did. Well Said and Good luck in the contest. Blessings, Barbara
