The Early Church understood that the NORMAL Lifestyle for a Believer in the Lord Jesus Christ was to face persecution, and Believers in many countries today understand that as well. It's illegal in many countries to be a Christian or to even own a Bible. And in many countries, if you convert to Christianity, your own family will try to kill you. But in America, we think it's really difficult if someone says something insulting to us for being a Christian. Friends, Jesus said, "If they hate Me, they will hate you too!" We need to understand that, as we get closer to the end of time, we WILL be persecuted if we are going to remain faithful in our devotion to God. We need to make up our minds right now that we will stand with Jesus...NO MATTER WHAT may come our way!
