Peace.1) the pastors in the area
2) the pastors in the denomination
3) The pastors in related denominations
4) reports of missionaries and their trials.
Some of us as church have done mission work in places like Nigeria for over 100 years and these issues are not abstractions.
Not generalizations
"To be honest, if they fail to point out that koranimals are slaughtering their flock then they’re nothing more than “white lies”...thus..lukewarm."
The more serious issue, is teaching young Christians to expect growing persecution, also violent forms of it, for the confession of Christian doctrine whether it be from Islam for confessing the trinity, the death and resurrection of Christ (all of which are denied by islam) or the Biblical principles of marriage the target of GLTG. They need to be taught what and where they differ from islam and others and understand what the Bible says about it.
They also need to be warned for their own protection. Yes, that does include some times graphic details of rape, torture, murder hatred, and abuse suffered by Christians for being Christian both in the world and increasingly in North America.
Where the bible is systematically preached the issues concerning persecution and the faith come up regularly in scripture. Jesus said ," ...Ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake." Matt. 24:9. The USA, Canada or other nations were not excluded from the list "all nations."
Peace.I’m still rubbing sleep out of my eyes but I can’t see anything wrong with that approach.
Have a great day!
