Whether good or bad sometimes we end up in a place we never thought possible. Be ready in season and out of season to weather the storms of life and keep your mind stayed on Him.

TRIALS ARE NOT THE SAME AS PERSECUTION

You received a diagnosis. Your marriage is struggling. You’re facing temptation. You’re walking through something you never expected.

Those things can test your faith deeply—but temptation itself is not sin. Jesus Himself was tempted, yet without sin. The question is what we do when temptation comes.

And we also need to understand the difference between trials and persecution.

Trials test our faith and produce perseverance. Persecution comes because of our allegiance to Christ—and for believers around the world, that persecution can mean imprisonment, torture, violence, and even martyrdom.

The persecuted Church reminds us that following Jesus was never promised to be comfortable.

We may suffer in this body, but for the believer, death does not have the final word.

“To live is Christ, and to die is gain.” — Philippians 1:21

“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” — Matthew 5:10

Persecuted Church — Part 2

WHEN THE FAKE ONES ARE GONE — WILL YOU STILL STAND?

What would you do if following Jesus actually cost you something?

In this powerful illustration, a church is given only seconds to decide: renounce Christ or face the consequences. Some leave. Others remain.

Then come the words:

“All the fake ones are gone.”

Persecution has a way of revealing what comfort can hide.

Jesus never promised His followers an easy road. Whether the battle is sickness, marriage, finances, personal struggles, rejection, or persecution, the question remains:

Will we persevere when following Christ becomes costly?

This message is a wake-up call to the Church. May it fall on fertile ground. May our faith be more than something we profess when life is comfortable. May we be found faithful when we are tested.

“But the one who endures to the end will be saved.” — Matthew 24:13

Christians are being persecuted and murdered around the world by Islamist extremists and at the same time, prominent religious leaders are calling for deeper “Christian-Muslim cooperation.”

This message asks an uncomfortable question:

How can Christianity compromise its doctrine in the name of religious unity when the two faiths make fundamentally different claims about Jesus Christ?

Jesus is not merely one religious figure among many.

Christianity proclaims Him as Lord, Savior, Son of God, crucified and risen—and the only way to the Father.

“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” — John 14:6

At the same time, Christians in places such as Nigeria continue to suffer horrific violence at the hands of Islamist militant groups.

The Church must never become so afraid of offending the world that it stops proclaiming who Jesus Christ is.

Today in history, September 1, 1939, N**i Germany invaded Poland, beginning World War II in Europe.

The invasion marked the start of six years of unimaginable suffering, including the systematic murder of six million Jews in the Holocaust.

Today, a disturbing narrative is spreading across social media portraying Hi**er as misunderstood—or even as “the good guy.” This is not harmless revisionism. It is Holocaust distortion that whitewashes evil and fuels modern antisemitism.

History must not be rewritten to rehabilitate monsters. We remember where unchecked hatred, antisemitism, and tyranny can lead—and we recommit ourselves to confronting them wherever they arise.

Never again must mean never again.

This is persecution!

Iran has killed at least 33 Christian ministers and detained more than 130 others tied to an underground house-church movement in recent months, even as Tehran criminalizes all religious broadcasts.
