An American Perspective on Christian Suffering
I hear worried voices in America predicting the demise of religious liberties. Here is what they are saying:
“The price of not bowing to Caesar is going up.” “Very soon, we will be asked to declare that no human behavior qualifies as sin.” “If we refuse, we will be punished, fired, taxed, and pilloried.” “As Christians, we must prepare ourselves for social marginalization, even incarceration.”
If such prognostications are correct, we are entering disheartening times, even frightening times. How can Christian leaders guide our people into this troubling historical moment?
