Esther 7:5.
Author: R New
I'm a 1959 Baby Boomer which has allowed me to see drastic changes in the Christian landscape. I grew up going to Church every Sunday, in those days the Bible still had strong roots in America. In my 20's, I participated with the Church in public meetings. There were about eight of us who would go out to a street corner or public park to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. There were horns, a bass drum, singing, and a short Salvation message from the Bible. Suddenly, that all changed. The city passed ordinances to prohibit that type of public "solicitation." Today, it seems almost illegal to mention the Gospel to the younger generation.
I retired at the age of 62. As a person living for the testimony of Jesus Christ, I always felt like a salmon swimming against the current. Work was always a struggle between trying to be a decent individual while dealing with "progressive" and "left wing" changes at the workplace.
It's clear that there is a force in the world that is quietly eliminating the Gospel of Jesus Christ while making Christians look like enemies of humanity. At the same time, there is a force in the world that has power over physiology and is able to form thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. It is definitely against Jesus Christ.
John 3:16 is something I always want to cling to, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." I know the suffering of spiritual assault that hinders a constructive lifestyle & when frustration & anger seems to be the sole option - I know we can survive through the Cross of Christ. We have a home in the Kingdom of Heaven waiting for us.
