>>We havent seen anything yet. Look at the American pastor being held in prison in Iran and what they are doing to him. Are we prepared to suffer the same if necessary? I like to think so but also pray that I dont. Look at Christian persecution in other nations. We have a long way to go before we can say we are persecuted.
That’s what I’m saying. We act like we’re being scourged when a nativity scene gets removed from a public park. We should be using the energy we waste on futile outrage to become better Christians by withdrawing from the secular world living more and more in the Kingdom of God. They can’t beat us. We already know how the story ends.
Sometimes I have to remind myself of how the story ends. I admit I get discouraged. I just have to stay in the Bible.

I often forget too when the world starts beating me down. Then, I remember and just smile at it.
