Well done for being so forthright in the view of how Christians should react to the opposition made against us. It is an encouragement when discomfort occurs as we find ourselves at odds not just with society in general but even people we know.

Brilliant article! I agree totally with it. O that our national Christian leaders would speak out with such clarity.

True, as far as it goes...
We Christians are called to be a society within a society. While Christians hand their children over to the pagan state to be propagandised in ungodly error (PSHE anyone?); while they accept that the state can/should provide protection, health, welfare, justice, employment, housing, etc. from cradle to grave (doesn't God do any of that stuff anymore???), while they live live wholly dependent on the (divine) state, rather than on God... expect more of the same.
Judgment starts with the house of God. If we don't "get it", how on earth will our pagan neighbours?

I welcome J.Johns comments. Praise God we are on the victory side but currently we are still in the battle and need to pray for our Politicians that the scales will be removed from their eyes and they will be surrounded by people who know and are able to share the truth in such a way that will encourage them and set them free! Amen

Thank you for your very insightful comments.
We are in danger of adopting one of these stances, but trust that Gods people will remain faithful in these difficult times that are ahead.

The opinions expressed in the Reader Comments are not necessarily those held by Cross Rhythms.
May the Lord give us courage to stand up for Biblical living in our ever changing world. Selfish gains seem to be the preferred option instead of living as Jesus did - to serve each other in love.
Thank you for your encouragement to be bold in our living out the basic Christian principles which were clearly exampled in Jesus.
