All the topics on atheist ads on buses and glbt issues has got me to wondering: Is it harder to be a witness for Christ today than it ever was before?
I think about Asia Minor in the time of the early Church. The peoples of those countries and cities practiced many immoral things even in the name of worshipping their gods. They were very affluent yet very brutal in many ways. The Church itself was illegal so persecution of it was encouraged. And yet the Church flourished.
Well, the Church doesn't seem to be flourishing today. Here in America, over 75% of people say that they are Christian and yet look at us. We're kind of a mess folks. And, we just elected a guy to office that seems to be going against strongly held Christian principles.
What's up?
