Navy Orders Bibles Removed From Base Hotels
 
Navy Orders Bibles Removed From Base Hotels

The U.S. Navy has instructed housekeepers to remove Gideon-placed Bibles from every hotel room on its military bases after it received a letter from the atheist group Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF).

"We were told today, June 23, 2014, that due to a new policy by the CEO of NEXCOM, Rear Admiral Robert J. Bianchi, we were to remove the Bibles from the rooms," a housekeeper told AFA in an email. "They told us to put them in boxes, where they would be taken to a donation center somewhere."

The devil knows his time is short and wants people he can control. Once we experience the freedom that only Jesus can offer then nothing can have a hold on us. The devil does not want that of course. The more offended these groups get of my Jesus the more I know that He is the real deal. I would not be surprised in the future when our government tries to take all of our bibles away for us. That is why it is important to memorize, meditate and put God's word in our heart.

Atheists hate that people force their religion on them and want all traces of GOD removed. So what do they do? They force their views on others by doing things like this. SMH

The Anvil of God's Word

“Last eve I paused beside the blacksmith’s door,
And heard the anvil ring the vesper chime;
Then looking in, I saw upon the floor,
Old hammers, worn with beating years of time.

“‘How many anvils have you had,’ said I,
‘To wear and batter all these hammers so?’
‘Just one,’ said he, and then with twinkling eye,
‘The anvil wears the hammers out, you know.’

“And so, I thought, the Anvil of God’s Word
For ages skeptic blows have beat upon;
Yet, though the noise of falling blows was heard,
The Anvil is unharmed, the hammers gone.”

—Attributed to John Clifford

But the word of the Lord endureth for ever... 1 Peter 1:25

We are headed for a time when you will not be permitted to bring the Bible onto a military post.
