We give praise and thanks for another day of worship. May we make His praise glorious today as we worship Him.
Recently NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, has been accused of censoring religious speech among its Christian employees, including banning the name Jesus. The JSC reportedly told employees last year that the name “Jesus” could not appear in newsletters pertaining to the Praise and Worship Club that meets during the lunch hour.
NASA has a long history of respecting the religious speech of its employees. This includes defending, in court, the astronauts who read the biblical account of creation while orbiting the moon. According to the Christian Post, Liberty Institute Senior Counsel Jeremy Dys told them on Tuesday, “This tradition should continue here. We decided to get involved because we are committed to upholding the right to free religious expression for all Americans, including government employees.”
The Texas-based Liberty Institute along with attorneys from the firm Fish & Richardson sent a letter to NASA JSC on Monday in response to the censorship. The letter indicated that the censoring of the club’s religious viewpoint is a violation of federal law and the First Amendment and that such assertions have been repeatedly rejected by the Supreme Court. The letter concluded with the following, “We fail to see how such a mention in an advertisement that is tied specifically to the JSC Praise and Worship Club connotes state sponsorship, endorsement, or establishment of religion.”
Once again we see another effort by the devil and his cohorts to silence the children of God and suppress the name of Jesus. But we thank God that His people are no longer sitting back and taking it. They are fighting back using all the available means. Let us remember to give our prayer support to the Praise and Worship Club at JSC.
