Four Christians in Philadelphia, PA, are facing 47 years in prison and fines up to $90,000 each. Their crime? They were reading from the Bible and sharing the Gospel on a public sidewalk. They stood up to protect their rights—and ours—and now they are being punished for exercising those rights.

They were charged with eight crimes, including three felonies: possession of instruments of crime (a bullhorn), ethnic intimidation (saying that homosexuality is a sin), and inciting a riot (reading from the Bible some passages relating to homosexuality) despite the fact that no riot occurred.

This is an example of pro-homosexual officials using the law to silence Christians who speak the truth about homosexuality.

 		That's really too bad... It makes one wonder how much worse these persecutions are gonna get (heh). I mean c'mon, 47 years for reading the Bible on the sidewalk, and protesting? That's crazy. Quite intolerant I'd say. Let us continue to pray for our brothers and sisters!

 		Wow, that is an awesome site. I looked through a few more of the articles, and there are some impactful articles there. A few good wake up calls too.
