[antidisestablishment]

I’m in the military, currently deployed. Do you think it’s any different anywhere in our society at this time?

Do you think it was any different in Paul’s Rome? Did he run? Did he curse the centurion for the deeds of the emperor? Did he not stay and bear witness unto death?

Read a little further in your very chapter:

The lazy man says, “There is a lion outside!

I shall be slain in the streets!”

[Jan_Sobieski]

Thank you for your service. I pray for our men in arms, having been one for many years and been deployed around the world as well.

You are correct, society in general is moving in the same direction. It is admirable to make a stand for righteousness, but as a Government Issue, you have no choice but compliance.

When the Lion is in the street, he can be avoided. When he is in his den, he can be avoided. When you are in the Lion's den, it is very difficult to avoid the Lion (however God can and does protect his people)...
