Christian Persecution in America

Hebrews 12:4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.

 

Evan -
I have a suggestion for you - and I am being very serious about this
Do you really want to make an impact on politicians and other govt officials?

Then get involved in politics!!!
Not saying you have to run for office in the next election.

Rather get involved with your political party in your town or county.
Be willing to do what needs to be done. Eventually, you may end up in a leadership position
in the party. By doing this - you will get to know these politicians and officials on a personal basis.

Along with this, contact a Christian radio station - many will broker time - and you could have a talk show on the air- In this position - again you will have better access to these politicians, especially if you are also in a political leadership position.
AS I said - you would broker the time -(pay to be on the air.) Now, that doesn't mean it would have to come out of your pocket - there are different ways to work this.

I dont know if you have mentioned where you live (if you have, blame my short memory ) but it is possible, I may know of someone in your area, as I have lived in many States/Commonwealths.

You see, I have done both - I used to have a radio talk show on a 40,000 watt FM station. I have also been a town Chairman of my town political party - which in turn put me on the County Executive Board.

For more info, PM me.

Yes, there are many kinds of "persecutions" but true persecution is not at all what you are experiencing or what most people experience in this country. Read Fox's Book of Martyrs and you will get a better picture of what true persecution is and you will then be able to enjoy the freedoms we have and embrace the little road bumps we face as opposed to the absolute walls and cliffs others need to face in other countries. Did you know that Christianity is growing greatly in countries where there is true persecution? I had dinner last night with a number of missionaries and it's incredible thinking about what so many Christians are going through around the world and yet their hearts will not allow them to do anything but live for the Lord. Persecution definitely weeds out the players, that's for sure! But to say that having an official tell you that you can't hand out tracts in a public park is persecution is very much belittling those who have truly suffered persecution. They WISH all they had to deal with was a misinformed official who backed down quickly.

 

Huh? So show me the list of persecutions where not being allowed to pass out tracts is on the list.
