Martyr Jan Huss Statue

In this modern society in America, this land of plenty and opulence we have gotten the idea that persecution can never come to our land. But do you know that in places on this planet right now, Christians are suffering persecution? Saints in parts of Indonesia, are actually giving their lives for the Lord Jesus Christ. In China, in parts of Africa, other places, people that name the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and preach and teach that Jesus is the only means of salvation, and are suffering persecution as a result.

Every saint of God needs to realize that there are forces in our society that want to do away with the name of Jesus. It’s not politically correct for chaplains in the navy and the army and the other branches of the armed forces to pray in the name of Jesus. Some chaplains have been reprimanded. Some have been court martialed. In some courts and trials, men used the name of Jesus and then were forbidden by the judge to use that name again in the courtroom. There are organized, well financed forces in this nation that wants to remove every vestige of Christianity, just like the Council of old in the book of Acts. They gave the Apostles an ultimatum. If you continue to teach and preach, we will bring you into question and into court again and put you behind bars. And that they did.
