Our country’s movement away from Christian values is certainly sad, but as Pastor Bill will point out in today’s message, we’re far from experiencing real persecution as Christians in this country. Things are going to move in that direction around the world as we approach Christ’s return for His Church, but they can’t stop us from believing in Him and practicing our faith. If you look at places in the world where Christianity is already illegal, you’ll find vibrant followers of Jesus living out their faith in a very real way.
