What You’ll Learn:
A recent Barna Group study revealed forty-one percent of American believe there is a decline in religious liberty. What are the implications of this cultural shift? First, we are called to stand firm regardless of cultural changes. In Paul’s final letter to Timothy, he urged him to preach the Word “in season and out of season.” Paul knew from experience that temptation existed to change the message as persecution increased. Second, be encouraged that faith often prospers under persecution. Christianity grew rapidly during times of intense persecution in New Testament times. God may be using these changes as a wake up call to a sleeping church to grow and share Christ with a world in need of grace.
