Near me. Here in America. It's only a matter of time before we face persecution as well in what we think is a free Nation. <BR/><BR/>you shared,<BR/><B>We make trouble for those who hold the banner of error and falsehood. We make trouble by preaching and teaching truth.</B><BR/><BR/>I'd like to express some sorrow I have for this understanding here today in our own churches from our own brethren. (John MacArthur states)<I>'We're not supposed to draw any definitive lines or declare any absolutes. That is regarded as backward, outmoded, discourteous. And while this attitude toward biblical discernment is expected from the secular world, it is sadly being embraced by an increasing segment of evangelical Christianity.'</I> Amazingly even Christians find the stated Truth to be offensive especially if it contradicts what they believe to be truth. But they needn't agree with me but rather with God because that's who they're really arguing against. There are not many truths. There is one. And it's whatever God says it is.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for bringing our brethren to remembrance.

I may never zoom on the enemy, but I'm in the Lord's army - yes sir!"<BR/><BR/>I've enjoyed teaching that one to my kids and the kids at church through the years. <BR/><BR/>Yes, we are in a spiritual battle and many times it exhibits itself physically in persecution. <BR/><BR/>I'm right there in the ranks with you my friend.

Isn't there a Bible verse - the battle is the Lord's. We just need to remember that sometimes.
