Freedom of speech is under assault in America. As noted by the New York Post, the repressive "phenomenon of 'cancel culture' promotes the 'canceling' of people, brands, and even shows and movies due to what some consider to be offensive or problematic remarks or ideologies."
Nikki Haley once said, "Our society is built on the values of free speech and mutual respect, but cancel culture rejects both. In place of free speech, it demands conformity. Instead of mutual respect, it tears people down."
In the midst of these domineering developments, tremendous peace and strength continues to flow to those who "hope in the Lord" (Isaiah 40:31) and "pray without ceasing" (1 Thess. 5:17). God places a spiritual kingdom within people who receive the King of Kings as their Lord and Savior (John 1:12).
