The anomaly may be over

There has been an anomaly for the past few years. The words of Paul to Timothy that all who want to lead a godly life in Christ  Jesus will be persecuted, have by and large for the United States been a metaphor.  That anomaly has been teetering for a while, but it is now starting to crumble.

On social media there is a buzz about "persecution beginning" the simple reality is that for believers in Nigeria, that is actually not the case, for believers in most of Asia, that has not been the case, for believers in North Africa and most of the Middle East that has not been the case, we were the anomaly.

The fact that moral anarchy turns out to be A pressure point, is not new, the idea that tolerance tolerates anything but biblical conviction, nothing new. The idea that the church had better get good at producing lay leaders, because pastors are prime targets, not a novelty. Except in America.

And the answer? Not mysterious either. God is at work, and the Gospel is the power of God for salvation to all who believe.

Let's be ready!
