The Struggle For Religious Freedom Continues
10 November, 2026: This morning, I received an email from medium.com. It was telling me that two articles I wrote for them have been suspended. Now, I don’t know if my entire account was suspended, or just those two articles, I haven’t checked. But this is twice now that my account was suspended in some way or another.
Actual email from Medium.com:
We do not allow content that may undermine the dignity and rights of transgender and/or non-binary individuals. This may include misgendering, dead-naming, claims that transgender individuals are not their gender identity (“trans women are men”), or erroneous claims based on disinformation or pseudoscience.
We do not allow content that constitutes or promotes violence, harassment, or hatred against people based on characteristics like race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, caste, disability, disease, age, sexual orientation, gender, or gender identity.
We do not allow posts or accounts that glorify, celebrate, downplay, or trivialize violence, suffering, abuse, or deaths of individuals or groups. This includes the use of scientific or pseudoscientific claims or misleading statistics to pathologize, dehumanize, or disempower others. We do not allow calls for intolerance, exclusion, or segregation based on protected characteristics, nor do we allow the glorification of groups which do any of the above.
We do not allow posts or accounts that target others with slurs, tropes, or other content that intends to dehumanize, degrade or reinforce negative or harmful stereotypes about a protected category. For example, this may include targeted or intentional misgendering or deadnaming of transgender individuals, or harmfully ableist language.
We do not allow hateful text, images, symbols, or other content, including in your username, profile, or bio.
Repeated violation of our rules may result in additional suspensions, decreased distribution of your posts, and potential suspension of your account.
My Response:
I have never knowingly posted slurs, racist content, or material intended to harass or dehumanize anyone. My purpose in writing is to share the Good News of Jesus Christ and the hope of the cross. I believe God calls every person to salvation and eternal life with Him. That is why I was troubled to receive a notice citing rules against hateful or dehumanizing content: those actions would contradict the very purpose of my writing. I’m still trying to understand which specific passages led to this decision.
“This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.” – 1 Timothy 2:3-4 NIV
9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. – 2 Peter 3:9 NIV
For my Christian friends let me explain something. Medium is not a very good choice for a website name. Because to the vast majority of people, medium means psychic. But in the world of artists, I suppose, medium has a totally different meaning. Medium means the material you use to create. For example, if someone is a sculptor, their medium is clay. If someone is a painter, their medium is canvas. If someone is a writer their medium is paper.
The point medium.com was trying to make was “this is the new medium for writers”. They should have at least gave an explanation.
I signed up for medium.com just over a year ago. I was on there a month, maybe less. That time, my entire account was suspended, I wasn’t allowed to post anything, nor was I allowed to let my content stay on their website. About a month ago, I discovered my suspension had been removed and I created another account. Now here we are once again.
My Public Declaration:
I will not stop talking about the truth of the Bible. I will not stop talking about the cross. Jesus Christ is a real person, God in the flesh. There is no other religion, no other way to come to God except for Jesus. Just because you don’t believe that, doesn’t mean it isn’t true. There is a real enemy, Satan, and he is actively at work all over the world deceiving people. To say Satan doesn’t exist is like saying there’s no such thing as sunshine. Sunshine is totally obvious; as is Satan.
There is no person on this earth able to stop me; no spirit on this earth will hinder me; if a website bans me or suspends me, I will find another way to reach people with the Gospel. If I were to be placed in the darkest dungeon of a prison, like Paul and Silas I will pray my way out, and continue proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ. No one, no spirit or no group of people will silence me, period. No law will stop me from doing what I can to reach people with the life saving message of the cross.
I Believe the Bible over and above anything I can see with my eyes or hear with my ears. If I see something or hear something that contradicts the Bible, I immediately question what I’m seeing or hearing. I don’t doubt the Bible, I would doubt reality itself before I doubt the Bible.
18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written:
“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise;
the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.” – 1 Corinthians 1:18-19 NIV
The Valley of the Shadow of Death
Now, the valley of the shadow of death might be an exaggeration, but the website medium.com is not very inviting to people of faith. There seems to be a level of political correctness that actually places more emphasis on ideological conformity than on truth. People regularly post articles proclaiming this myth of New Age Gospel, where the words of man are equal with the words of God.
That’s why I wanted to go to medium in the first place. I wanted to take the truth of Jesus Christ to people who might otherwise never hear the truth. When it gets to the point where political correctness overrides freedom of speech, or overrides one’s right to speak the truth, then we know that individual rights are dead, or at least badly injured. Our Founding Fathers would have closed medium.com down before they would have allowed censorship of free speech.
And that’s exactly what these liberal progressives want to do to America. They want an America where no one can raise the flag of the United States. They want an America where no one is allowed to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus in public. They even want to regulate what you do inside your own home. Just like Ireland, where you can actually be arrested for praying in front of window, that would be the United States if they had their way.
18 “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. 19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. 20 Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also.” – John 15:18-20 NIV
“I Have Seen The Writing on the Wall”
If that sounds familiar to you, then you must be a fellow Pink Floyd fan. This is one of the lyrics to their famous song, “Another Brick in the Wall part 3.” These are the words that keep coming to my mind when I take a look at the news, or listen to a podcast, or watch some commentator on YouTube. Like Daniel, who interpreted the words on the wall before King Belshazzar, what was once hidden to the King and his guests, are now obvious to anyone who cares to look.
The fact that the Gospel of Jesus, the Good News of the cross and resurrection is considered hate speech, shows us exactly how the world has descended into the realms of Satan. It shows to the very letter the mentality of people who have turned their backs on the one, true Gospel and embraced the false teachings of false teachers. When people are placed into hostile work environments where political correctness is the #1 rule, and truth is something that isn’t as important as offense:
“And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.” – Matthew 24:10-11 KJV
If this isn’t the writing on the wall, I don’t know what is. This is all the evidence, at least in my opinion, that someone needs to know we’re living in the end times. Right now, everywhere around us, people get offended by the truth, because it simply conflicts with their own point of view. And the next verse is the same. In 63 years of life, I have never seen the overwhelming amount of false teachings. It’s everywhere you look. It’s in commercials, in movies, on YouTube, in printed media. This idea that “If you believe it, then it’s true” mentality.
The foolish notion that your opinion is your reality. If you believe you can fly, does that mean you can jump off the top of a building? Well you can jump, but you won’t fly. That’s because fantasy is just fantasy, and reality is reality.
I Need Your Help!
If you thought I was going to turn this into some sort of plea for your contribution, you’re right. But I don’t want your money I want something more valuable: I want your time. Pray for me. And don’t just pray, “God Bless brother Tim.” Pray that God will give me the courage to continue to spread His word in the face of opposition. Pray that God will give me the messages He wants me to bring to the people. Pray that God keeps me faithful, humble and meets my needs as we continue these last few steps into eternity.
