Christians were routinely exposed to brutality and death for simply being Christians.

No, they weren't. They were persecuted for professing Christ. There is a huge difference.

Is there really? Is one Christian if one doesn't profess Christ?

I'm sure most of us here know our history and cling to that old saying:

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

Also, I am aware of the many denominations that present a doom and gloom scenario. One of the things I've learned as a Christian is to leave the worrying and judging to the One most capable of dealing with it... and that sure isn't us!

We were given three primary commandments which are:

Love our Lord with all our heart, soul mind and strength
Love our neighbors (and even our enemies) as we would love ourselves
and
Go into all the world and preach and teach the Good News (not the bad news).

Allowing the secular world to trample all over the good name of our Lord does nothing to further the Kingdom news. Do nothing and you admit defeat at the foot of the Adversary.

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."

In this world, of course. :angel:

This is a great point, Vic. Things may or may not be comming to an end (who knows? People have been saying this for thousands of years) but its our duty to carry on regardless. We have to continue spreading the Good news as instructed and bring as many people to Christ as we can. How will this task get any easier if we allow all mention of Christ to be removed from secular society? It wont!
