"He who has found his life will lose it, and he who has lost his life for My sake will find
it.” ~ Matthew 10:28-39
For as True followers of Jesus Christ we can no longer permit ourselves to being
intimidated into becoming cowards or pawns of the state, in effect apologizing for our
Christian faith. Overcome with the spiritual bondage that comes from the fear of mere
men, even if they occupy the position of President of the United-States of America… We as
True followers of Christ are called to respect the governmental authorities that God as
appointed before us, but not at the expense of surrendering our faith in Jesus Christ and
His Word… the Bible for we must as the apostles before us… choose obeying the God of the
Bible rather than mere men…
Rather preferring the praises of God coupled with a supreme and Holy fear and
respect of the One and Only True God – Messiah Jesus whom we call Christ and in so doing
placing our faith in God alone and trusting in His Providential and Sovereign care through
this time of testing. No longer trying to rationalize away the reality of Christian persecution
that is presently occurring upon American soil, but rather recognizing it for what it is, for
only then can we stand against it rather than deluding ourselves into believing that such
persecution is merely a figment of some extremist fundamentalist groups imagination. Even
as those persecuted Christians over the centuries who have come and gone before us.
To include the persecution of brothers and sisters of like precious faith, of our
present day. Modern day Christian persecution outside of the U.S. is taking place like never
before in all of world history, and is on the increase. Is it surprising that Christian
persecution has come to our American shores, for we are no longer a Christian nation. Is it
surprising or ironic that some of the most… perhaps the most vehement and savage form of
Christian persecution of all, in the whole of our present day world… that is right now…
today… even as we speak… taking place amidst virtually every Islamic/muslim nation on the
face of the earth!

death." ~ Revelation 21:7,8
