Becoming Radicalized for
Christ
The Advance of the Gospel
Philippians 1:12-14 (ESV)
I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to
advance the gospel, so that it has become known throughout the whole imperial
guard and to all the rest that my imprisonment is for Christ. And most of the
brothers, having become confident in the Lord by my imprisonment, are much more
bold to speak the word without fear.
Wow what a testimony this is. This is what I want my faith
to be like. Right now, here in America we don't have to worry about going to
jail or prison because we worship the Lord. Right now, our biggest persecution is
being mocked and ridiculed and in extreme cases maybe losing our job. I do
foresee a time we might be rounded up and put into a reeducation camp. Right now,
in Britain in Ireland they are threatened with jail time for just standing and
saying a silent prayer or even charged with hate speech for reading the bible.
I do fear this is coming to the United States in the not too distance future.
If this does happen, will you be ready to stand like Paul for your faith in the
Lord Jesus Christ and still bring glory to His name.
