Christianity has always flourished under active persecution that prunes out the dead wood, the faux Christians. The worst conditions for growing a vital Christianity are in times of lazy prosperity when worldliness takes over the church and weakens the preaching of the Law and the Gospel.

Extremely cogent comment. Thanks for posting.
