Matthew 10:16-22 Handling Persecution

This study is a continuation of the previous podcast.

In this podcast:
A look at an article written by a homosexual man who changed his mind about prosecuting Christians who cannot celebrate so-called same-sex marriage.  The case for conscientious objection.
(The original article is here.)

Jesus prophesies that His followers will be beaten. And they have been beaten, as Jewish leaders, idolatrous leaders, Roman leaders, Islamic leaders, secularist leaders have felt threatened by Christianity.

Steve’s email exchange with an atheist.

More modern examples of governments that have been hostile to Christianity. How the persecution will worsen in the end times.

Learning how not to  be anxious in the face of persecution. Getting God’s peace.

Examples of martyrs who fulfilled Jesus’ promise that “what you are to say will be given to you in that hour.”

Stay in the Battle!
