A Christian woman in the military has been court martialed for her faith.
Marine Lance Corporal Monifa Sterling placed the Bible verse, “No weapon formed against me shall prosper,” (Isaiah 54:17) on her desk.
Her commanding officer told her to take down the Bible verse, calling it a profanity that we will not repeat here.
When she refused to comply with this unbelievably unlawful order, the officer threw the verse in the trash and had her court martialed.
Even worse, the court held that a Bible verse isn’t protected “religious exercise.”
It’s not only absurd; it’s dangerous for religious liberty in the military.
Now the case is in military appeals court, and we’re fighting back.
We’re representing key Members of Congress, preparing to file a critical amicus brief to aggressively defend the religious liberty of those who defend our freedoms.

The ACLJ is filing a lawsuit today on behalf of a church in northern Virginia. As we told you , Alive Church of the Nazarene was told if they wanted to utilize the property that they own, then they needed to get a liquor license. You read that correctly. If they want to use their own land for...
A church in northern Virginia is being asked by Prince William County – one of America’s richest counties in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. – to get a liquor license to function as a church on their property the way it lets breweries and wineries function. Think about the absurdity of that. The...
In the City of Ocala, Florida, we are currently in a legal battle at the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals over a flawed federal district ruling declaring that government officials can no longer encourage citizens to pray amid a difficult time in their community and volunteer chaplains can no...
