Modern evangelicaldom also has some discomfort with ecumenism. It’s easy for, say, Baptists to get into the cynical position that those Orthodox monks aren’t also getting blessings of the presence and salvation of Christ in spite of human doctrine differences.

But such differences are a “luxury” of a shielded church. Let it come under common siege and soon we see that the humanly built rooms in our foxhole don’t mean that we are not all in the same foxhole, or that the same Savior is not down there with us waiting for us to call on spiritual ammunition.

Even better news, many new Christians will be a reality with these attacks.

Yet sadly the same attacks will come regardless of what church one attends.

I say NO to either, and here is why. Look for the good news of the Gospel to spread and take root not only in those lands which it has been aroud for a very long time, but even in the west over time.

Remember the enemy is doing this because he knows that time is getting really, really short for him. But in the end, he loses.

The reality is that the more the Christian faith comes under attack, the more it GROWS.

Amen to that.

I think we are seeing a big split in the church and the formation of a real remnant. The big institutional churches are being enslaved by the government via a misinterpretation of Romans 13 and the IRS tax exempt status restrictions. Who wants a pastor that’s a part of the “clergy response team” funded and directed by the Feds.

The real Church will be found in small groups, just like it was in the beginning; an Acts based Church.

There is one nation in the Middle East where Christians practice their religion in safety. But we know how the BBC (and our so-called President) feel about that nation.
