Navy Caves, Chaplain Prays

Gordon_in_uniform Yesterday Navy Chaplain Gordon James Klingenschmitt won the victory he has been fasting for over the last 18 days. The Navy has agreed to let him pray in uniform in the awesome and precious name of Jesus Christ. I would like to commend Chaplain Klingenschmitt for his courageous stand. He now joins with the great saints of old Peter and John who also did not waver when they were told not to pray in Jesus' name. (Photo courtesy of Leo Shane III / S&S )

Acts 4:18 "Then they called them in again and commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. 19 But Peter and John replied, "Judge for yourselves whether it is right in God's sight to obey you rather than God. 20 For we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard."

God ALWAYS rewards the faithful. Others who are covering this story include: Stars & Stripes, The Washington Times , World Net Daily, and Mind & Media

UPDATE:  This was posted over the weekend.  I've been out of town since Saturday, glad to know you all care about this issue.
