And third? Third — for those who do stand firm in their faith, as it’s wound by the narrow path, not through the broad gate, expect the persecution to turn hot. With the ranks of even the religious community now being split on the gay marriage point, the road for those staying true will become even rockier. Expect, and prepare for, labels like hate groups to be slung at those churches and congregations that hold out, to the end, on the regard for gay marriage as counter to God’s will. It’s simply the cross the evangelical Christian of modern day times must bear.Nobody said following the Narrow Way would be easy. In fact Our Lord told us we would be hated for being faithful. But hated or not to remain faithful will result in hearing the words, 'Well done good and faithful servant!'on that last day.
