Episode 207: The Othering of the Saints - The Rising Persecution of Christians

Show Notes

While the spiritual battle rages, distractions are increasing that take our eyes off the truth of Ephesians 6:12. Politics and division further polarize and entangle the church. Yet, another emerging element will divert our attention from the warfare we wage: the othering of the saints. More and more, national voices, media pundits, corporate policy, and government regulation are targeting Christians as white nationalists, domestic terrorists, and fascist racists. While persecution began with the first believers, it is relatively new to the West. Will this strengthen our resolve to stand for the truth, or is it a sleight of hand to use misdirection while the coming deception increases?

Scriptures:

All Scripture references are from the King James Version of the Bible.  

2 Timothy 3:1-7, 2 Timothy 2:8-10, Acts 14:19-22, Matthew 24:15-22, Revelation 7:9-15, Matthew 5:11-12, Matthew 5:44-45, John 15:18-21, John 7:6, Psalm 3:1-8, Revelation 6:9-11, 2 Peter 3:8-10, Romans 12:17-21

Takeaway:

Yes, the othering of the saints is increasing. Let us not be dismayed or distracted from our purpose! Though we are troubled on every side, yet we are not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed. We can live our lives “always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.” May our lives be a testimony through suffering as well as rejoicing, and may our enemies come to repentance through the boldness we have in Christ Jesus.
