No responsible Christian can read the Bible, watch the news, and ignore the ever-approaching reality of persecution. We in the west cannot know with certainty when the violence that we hear of toward Christians in far away places will arrive at our doorsteps, but nevertheless we do well not only to pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ around the…

God gives us His divine aid, but we must exert ourselves spiritually by putting our faith to work for others, laboring in gospel love for the sake of others,…
