VACATION WITH CHRISTIAN PURPOSE:
REGISTER FOR CHARLESTON, SC REVOLUTIONARY WAR TOUR
History is "His story." Sadly, most of us learned history through the prism of secular teachers and secular textbooks. As a result, we didn't learn the truth at all.

That's why I want to urge you to seriously consider taking your family on the Christian-based War for Independence History Tour in historic Charleston, South Carolina between Sunday, April 29 and Friday, May 4, 2012.

These are experiences that you will share with your children's children in years to come.

I've tried to narrow it to just 10.
So, No. 10 on my list is the growing number of incidents where homosexuals are trying to put Christians out of business, get them fired, get them expelled from college programs and so on. Example: A bed and breakfast owner in Illinois is being sued for refusing to rent out his facility for a homosexual civil union ceremony and reception.

Streets sparkle with the lights of the Christkindlmarkts, the traditional markets that spring up for the season. Skaters circle the rink outside the picturesque Rathaus (city hall). Merrymakers warm their hands on cups of glühwein (mulled wine). What could possibly be missing?
Freedom of speech.
Freedom of speech no longer exists in Austria, as definitively proven by the Vienna high court. This week, a judge upheld the conviction against Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff on the following charge: "denigration of religious beliefs of a legally recognized religion." In simplest terms, this means that Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff speaks the truth about Islam, and in Austria, as in other nations across the Western world currently transitioning to Shariah (Islamic law), speaking the truth about Islam is not tolerated, and, more and more, is against the law.
