As a result of these efforts, God-fearing leaders are facing threats by business and entertainment figures to move jobs out of their states and cancel popular music concerts. This is a flash-point for our nation on religious liberty and we have momentum. Time for action!

SCRIPTURE: Isaiah 41:11; Acts 4:29.
PRAY: Boldness and success in speaking God’s word.
ACTION: Send an email, call or write a postcard to your governor: “Dear Gov. (Name), I am counting on you to stand firm for religious liberty.” Sign the Faith & Freedom Coalition petition protesting actions by business and entertainment against religious freedom.
