The Land of the Free

I think that outright persecution of Christians who refuse to deny their faith or deny the Bible's politically incorrect teachings is a likely possibility, even in the "land of the free." I hope it doesn't come to that, but it may- despite the sincere efforts of the James Dobsenes to protect our religious freedoms.

But ultimately, it's going to be OK, because everything that comes about, even persecution, is part of God's providential working in his universe. I can't say that I understand this, but I accept it.

My personal fear is that I may not measure up when things get rough for us. The Bible tells us to not fear those who can only kill the body, but to fear him who can kill the body and cast the soul into hell - easy to do during the good times. I hope he will give me the grace be faithful when things get tough.
