Governor Scott Walker Stands Firm - will not give in to atheists, Bible Verse Stays on His Social Media Accounts

Aimee Herd-Opinion : Mar 25, 2014  Todd Starnes – FOX News

Acts 4:18-20—"So they called them and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John answered and said to them, "Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge. For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard."

After recently tweeting and posting a Scripture (Phil. 4:13-"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.") on Facebook, he was threatened by atheist lawyers who demanded that he remove the Bible verse.

Governor Walker has refused.

Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) co-presidents Annie Laurie Gaylor and Dan Baker wrote in the threatening letter:

"This braggadocio verse coming from a public official is rather disturbing. To say, 'I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me,' seems more like a threat, or the utterance of a theocratic dictator, than a duly elected civil servant."

Wait…what century is this?! For a second there it felt a little like the first one.

Acts 4:18-20—"So they called them and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John answered and said to them, 'Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge. For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.'"

Governor Walker's press secretary, Laurel Patrick told Todd Starnes of Fox News, "Governor Walker will not remove the post on his social media. The verse was part of a devotional he read that morning, which inspired him, and he chose to share it."

Kudos to Governor Walker for standing his ground, and not compromising the Word of God because of those who are frightened by it. (Maybe deep down the atheists can sense its power and it scares them)

We can all—myself included—take a lesson from these events, not being afraid to "speak the Truth in love," and to be that conduit for God's light amid the darkness.

As my co-worker, Cathy suggested; maybe we should all post a Scripture on our Facebook and Twitter accounts today.
