Mimi Rothschild - The Southern Baptist Academy Homeschooling Blog

Janet Baird was fed-up.

But no more. The Ohio woman, after hearing the shocking confirmation directly from the mega-corporation’s international headquarters that the company is, in fact, contributing to the financial and moral agenda of the nation’s “gay” chamber of commerce, she quit. And she’s not a bit worried.

“I got God backing me. That’s where I stand on it,” she told WND in an interview.

The Enemy likes to change society gradually so we don’t notice. Take the public schools for instance. Each year, more religious freedoms are lost. Not all at once, of course. Satan knows better than to use an all-or-nothing strategy. He realizes that humans will go along with gradual degeneration of morality. It moves like a glacier. To the naked eye, glaciers are solid blocks of ice, standing firmly in place. Over time, however, glaciers gradually wreak havoc by slowly crushing anything in their path. This is how Satan works. Think about how things were 100 years ago. Our country’s moral clime was much different then.

“Sam Walton was such a moral man, he wouldn’t even allow music to be sold in his stores if it had bad language,” Baird said. “When it comes to moral values, first of all they started selling smutty magazines, then they brought in nasty music and videos, even ones others refused to sell, like ‘Brokeback Mountain.’”

And yet, the dramatic change has taken place over such a long period of time that we barely notice that anything has gone wrong. Every once in a while, when a particularly dramatic shift in values occurs, some brave souls stand up for what they believe in. Janet Baird is one of those people. Unfortunately, they are few and far between.

The Southern Baptist Convention comprises 16 million American men and women. Do you think Walmart would change their tune if they lost that kind of business? Is a good deal on potato chips worth the cost of compromising our faith?

Congratulations to Mrs. Baird for standing strong in her faith. Our prayers are with you.
