Cracker Barrel Does the Right Thing

Hollywood, GLAAD, and businesses continue to underestimate the pent-up anger of Christians in America over the decades-old attack on Jesus Christ the Lord and our faith in Him.

That came to a head when family patriarch Phil Robertson of the Duck Dynasty clan was brutally attacked for correctly reiterating what the Bible teaches about homosexuality: that it is sin.

When the inevitable brutal attack began against Robertson, outrage from believers poured into those who had pushed them far enough. It appears this may be a turning point that could turn things around for American Christians.

To that end, Cracker Barrel, a restaurant chain in the United States, was bombarded with protests and threats that people would no longer go to there to eat their meals if products representing the franchise weren't put back on the shelves for sale. Cracker Barrel, thinking it has the public on its side, has quickly backtracked after the outcry against the company soared.

Businesses need to understand the tiny 2% of homosexuals in America don't represent the majority in any way, and even though media give the appearance they are powerful, it is more of an illusion than anything based in reality. This is the importance of what is happening, and why I say it could be the beginning of a turnaround in the acceptance of attacks on Christian believers in America.

It won't happen immediately and quickly, but I think we'll start to see more boldness from Christians in telling Hollywood and businesses they won't be telling us what we believe and how we can express it.

Here's what Cracker Barrel said in a statement:

"Dear Cracker Barrel Customer:

When we made the decision to remove and evaluate certain Duck Dynasty items, we offended many of our loyal customers. Our intent was to avoid offending, but that's just what we've done.

You told us we made a mistake. And, you weren't shy about it. You wrote, you called and you took to social media to express your thoughts and feelings. You flat out told us we were wrong.

We listened.

Today, we are putting all our Duck Dynasty products back in our stores.

And, we apologize for offending you.

We respect all individuals right to express their beliefs. We certainly did not mean to have anyone think different.

We sincerely hope you will continue to be part of our Cracker Barrel family."

Now that Cracker Barrel repented from its actions, Christians should support the company, as they've done the right thing. Of course the long-term support should be determined by the restaurant continuing to do the right thing.

Let this be a terrific example of Christians sticking together and telling this culture what it is Jesus Christ expects, and not being afraid to express it.

What A&E, GLAAD Missed with Phil Robertson and Duck Dynasty

There has been something brewing underneath the surface of the culture in America for several decades, as opposition to anything related to Christ has ramped up, with some of it like abortion have dire consequences.

With the debacle at A&E concerning its Duck Dynasty show and Robertson family patriarch Phil, that pent-up frustration has flowed out onto the social media street, with an amazing amount of backbone that had been believed to be gone from believers in Jesus Christ in the United States.

What A&E and the vicious activist group GLAAD didn't know, was it wasn't gone at all, as Christians are called upon to suffer for His name's sake. Rather, what was happening underneath the surface was a dormant but powerful force waiting for the right time to be unleashed. That time has now come, and it is sweeping not only across the country, but across the world. I don't think things in America will ever be the same again.

Brutish GLAAD even acknowledged it's never had this type of negative response to its outrageous attacks on those calling homosexuality sin.

As bad as this overall was that A&E had videos of the Robertson's with the usual bleeps included to suggest the family members were cussing all the time. What the bleeps were in reality were references to Jesus Christ. Because of those actions alone, A&E deserves what it's getting.

Willie & Phil Robertson talk about fake bleeps and praying in Jesus' name

The Robertson's were a wealthy family before they appeared on Duck Dynasty, and so the network had no pull to make them line up how they wanted them to.

Finally, the channel attempted to stop Phil from praying in the name of Jesus, which the family fought back on, and won, as the show had become the most popular reality TV show in history.

What really happened here is the Robertson family had millions of Christians who identified with them as being one of them. When the attack from GLAAD and A&E commenced, it became personal like an attack on a family member would be personal. GLAAD and A&E never had a chance.

These people actually believed their bullying tactics, which were usually against vulnerable people who didn't know how to fight back, had effectively cowered the Christian population in America. They were as wrong as they could be, and they will pay for that misjudgement in the years ahead. It's about time they did.

I truly believe this is the beginning of something far beyond Duck Dynasty and Phil Robertson. Christians are seeing that when they ban together, it is their enemies that are put on the defensive. It took this event to cause them to see this. It's doubtful they'll ever take the evil attacks of GLAAD and Hollywood like they have in the past. They will start to weaken as the righteousness of Christ grows in His people.

GLAAD Attack Dogs on Defensive: Way Past Time

The abusive and anti-Christian self-appointed defenders of sinful lifestyles opposed by Jesus Christ - the GLAAD organization - is now under pressure as people from all over blast the intolerant group for attacking Phil Robertson because of His godly opposition to the homosexual lifestyle, rightly identifying it as sin.

There is a growing backlash against the verbally violent organization, as Christians, and many others, are tired of the brutish, outrageous attacks it employs as a means of suffocating and destroying the views and lives of those that oppose the wickedness they represent.

Even the organization itself admits it has never experienced the type of outrage from people tired of the destructive antics of the group.

It is finally realizing it is in a real culture war, but a culture that is based upon the person of Jesus Christ, who created the human race male and female, and only allows that to be the standard of sexuality; as long as it is within the confines of marriage. There in fact can't be such a thing as gay marriage, because the sin of homosexuality is forbidden by Jesus Christ in the first place.

To show the arrogance, presumption, and cluelessness of GLAAD and A&E, vice GLAAD president of communications Rich Ferraro said he talked with representatives of A&E in an alleged attempt to figure out why so many people despised the attacks on Robinson.

I'll let you know GLAAD. It's because we are one with him, and an attack on him is an attack on us. It's also the unfolding realization that there has never been a good-faith attempt by Christ-haters to truly respect people that believe in and obey Jesus Christ.

We are increasingly understanding that this is nothing less than a war to eradicate those who truly follow Jesus, and who won't back down to others in regard to His commands to us. This is what you're experience GLAAD, and it's only the beginning. It will get much worse for you, and you'll start tasting of the first fruits of defeat that all enemies of Christ will have to endure.

Fellow Christians, don't back down, don't waver, don't cave in, and don't believe them. This is a war that has been going on since Satan tried to become like the Most High God; the only God. It's a way that has been already one by Christ, but which we must engage in to mop up our defeated enemies.

Don't listen to the smooth attempts to assuage your righteous anger. It's past time to keep them on the defensive, to call for them to repent from their sinful ways and turn to Jesus Christ, who is more than willing to forgive them for their sins.
It's great that this is happening. For too long Christians and others have believed this is all about a counterfeit "tolerance" that all of us should engage in when communicating. Just look at the vicious attacks groups like GLAAD partake in to quickly get that lie out of your head. They have no interest in anything but forcing this lifestyle upon people, and to have all to agree that there is nothing wrong with it.

Think on it though. Homosexuals are the only people in existence that self-identify with the sin they are committing. After all, who says I was born a murderer and thus belongs to some type of interconnected murderers group? This is exactly what homosexuals have done and do.

They want us to believe they're victims of simply being born the way they are. That's of course a lie. Everyone has a choice, and those immersing themselves in the lifestyle, are attempting to force the rest of us into accepting it.

The fact that Phil Robertson wouldn't toe the homosexual line, and the wicked and evil attack on him was exposed in the public eye, confirms this is nothing but a bunch of people attempting to destroy anyone that gets in their way.

How they brutally and viciously attacked Phil Robertson, a lover of Jesus Christ, openly shows the real agenda and attitude of GLAAD and their ilk.

Christians and others watching this unfold understand that now, and GLAAD will no longer get a free ride, and neither will those homosexuals and other deviants not willing to repent of their sin.

If A&E doesn't turn away from its decision to remove Phil Robertson from Duck Dynasty, we should totally abandon it as a TV channel, and continue to pressure advertisers until they refuse to advertise on it.

Also know, that The Walt Disney Company owns half of the A+E, the holding company of A&E. Let them all know what you think of this attack on the followers of Jesus Christ.
