The system of this world hates biblical Christianity. It actively opposes it. It tries to get devoted Christ-followers to compromise by tempting them with money, fame, sex – whatever it takes. If you attend a church that preaches the Bible, you’re looked down upon; if you attend one that’s soft on sin, you’re okay with the world. Pastor Mark’s teaching today will be about a house church whose members were being persecuted. You’ll hear how they were being tempted to not follow God so closely, and how those traps exist today.
