Understanding the Times

In May’s publication of the Fortress Newsletter, we read of Dr. Eric Walsh’s (an acclaimed physician) surprising termination from Georgia’s Department of Public Health (DPH) simply for discussing topics of evolution and homosexuality during his church sermon.  Most disturbing about the news report is that the DPH justified the termination with no evidence of Walsh’s “inability to perform” the duties of his job.  Walsh was fired specifically for his personal religious beliefs, which had no measurable impact on the community he served. Walsh’s firing conspicuously violated his 1^st Amendment right of the US Constitution. Furthermore, it must be noted that the attack against Dr. Walsh was based on the results of improper and undisclosed investigations. Someone pursued Dr. Walsh without cause and without his knowledge.

Hopefully, Christians worldwide will perceive the harsh tactics used to pursue and destroy the well-being of one Christian man. It is unclear how many similar attacks are or will be launched within the US and other countries every day.  These types of crafty and subtle attacks mirror and manifest the works of Satan and his host. While Dr. Walsh currently endeavors to sue Georgia’s DPH, it is unlikely that he will get his former highly-competitive job (or reputation) back at all.
