There was an article about a war against Christianity and all I can think about the article is the True Believers that are persecuted, those who put their absolute authority in Jesus Alone. The various states and factions around the world and centuries of history have shown that those who put their exclusive faith in Jesus will be persecuted. I'm not surprised nor should Christians should be surprised. I'm surprised that we as Christians had it good for a couple of hundred of years in the westernized countries. Christians aren't loyal to any earthly king or kingdom/government or authority. Sure, some might like some leaders in their countries but I don't hold any weight to our political system. My allegiance is to Christ Alone. If the state wants to come after me because I am not loyal to the state or the political system that is fine. I am to live a peaceful life in this world and not stir the pot for the sake of stirring the pot. But to live for my Creator and to share the Good News of Jesus to all those who are willing to listen. Sure, I have sinned and continue to sin in this world, because of the fall of man in Genesis 3. There will always be war against Christians because this earth is currently ruled by Satan. So until Jesus' return, we must deal with the fact that we will be persecuted. Here is a phrase that I took over the past couple of years, is "We/I got Jesus, so why worry." I do fall into the worry trap but I try not to!
