Choose You This Day Whom You Will Serve..
This from World Net DailyHomosexual protesters picketed in front of a Boston church yesterday just as the morning service was ending, saying they were targeting the congregation because it is hosting a conference about leaving the "gay" lifestyle.
This might be coming to your church or who knows, maybe your home?
A lot of modern day Christians do not expect to be persecuted for their faith infact when we hear the word persecution mentioned, most of us Christians today think of countries like Saudi Arabia, China and other places where it is very difficult to openly preach the gospel. However, Christians are being persecuted even here in the US everyday.
We are called names by those in the main stream media because we refuse to accept any thing that is contrary to the word of God. We are told that we should be tolerant and loving since God is love. They forget that the loving God hates sin and has also prepared a place of eternal damnation to those who reject His son.
One of the areas where this persecution is most evident is the acceptance of the gay lifestyle. It is evident in the word of God when He created Adam and Eve (not Adam and Steve) that as one of my favorite preachers - Ravi Zacharias puts it "....He(God) chose to craft a relationship designed so specifically that only a woman could complete the imcompleteness of man".
I don't mean to scare anyone, but the days of open persecution against Christians are here. If you are one those who depsperately craves attention and approval from people, then you might be in trouble unless you are determined to please God and not man.
One of the reasons for the spread of the gospel in the early church was because of their persecution. "Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word" Acts8:4
No matter what the world says, we should stand firm on the Word of God. We should always be ready to give an answer for the hope that lies within us with gentleness and respect. Tolerance does not mean acceptance. We should love sinners, the Bible tells us to love sinners, but we are not sanction sin. We are to tell the people the truth in love.
"Yea, and all that will live godly in christ Jesus shall suffer persecution" 2nd. Tim3:12
