Mark 13:13 “You will be hated by all because of My name, but the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.”
Anti-Christianists are outraged that a principal of a Missouri high school spoke about the history of God in public life during his address to graduates.
Kevin Lowery, principal of Lebanon High School, told the graduates during a May 23rd commencement to remember that “God is still important” after the students were prohibited from praying at the event.
“In one of the most famous sentences in American History, taken from our Declaration of Independence, reads, ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of Happiness,’” Lowery said in opening the gathering. “This passage has come to represent a moral standard to which the United States should always strive. And even though God is reflected in the very fabric of our nation, we are told that it is inappropriate and even illegal to mention God at high school graduations, let alone say a prayer.”
Lowery then asked those in the room to hold a minute of silence.
“[J]ust in case you’re interested, during my moment of silence, I gave thanks to God for these great students, their parents, their teachers, and for this community,” he said after the moment of silence, causing the room to erupt in applause.
“Oh, I’m not finished,” he continued. “I asked God to protect these students as they go their separate ways into the world. I asked God to avail Himself in every possible way. I asked God to watch over them, to protect them, and to bless them with self-fulfillment, with compassion, inner peace, and personal prosperity. Thank you for indulging the thoughts I had during my moment of silence. And yes, God is still important, and let us not ever forget it.”
The school district has reported that anti-Christianists have sent angry messages to the school after news reports of the principal’s comments reached the internet. The complaints have come from people who do not live in the community and did not attend the ceremony.
Sometimes I wonder if these anti-christian athiests are decendents of Cain and the Nephillum.
Let the anti Christianist cry and Frey all they want. We as Christians have put up with their hated and bigotry for years. It’s fine if they choose not to believe but let us be able to express or belief in a creator. The theory of evolution is ad absurd as they come while a belief in God only makes since.
God Bless You Principal Lowery, for being strong, brave and courageous for our Lord Jesus. It is WONDERFUL to hear how you spoke up and spoke out for our Creator God. We know Jesus was very blessed and pleased along with all of heaven and ALL Christians who heard or will hear about you standing for Jesus. I plead and apply the Blood of Jesus and Hedge of Protection around you, your students, staff and all family members. Keep up the GREAT work!!!!
May the Lord richly bless the principle!!!!
Hurrah for this man of God!!!!! God bless him many times over. We all should take a stand for Jehovah God.
Let’s not give attention to the antagonists
I saw a blue bird perching on the branch of the Great Oak Tree singing the Song of Freedom. Then came a hunter and with his Arrow shot and Killed the blue bird. Now the Song of Freedom is silent. My prayer is may this allegory never happen in this Great Country America for much Blood has been shed on our Land so we can sing the Song of Freedom.
