Lukewarm Christians HATE this Bible verse!

The written version of this teaching is on its way. In the meantime, watch it here.

This has everything to do with understanding persecution and what a TRUE walk with Jesus looks like. Today's church has a gaping hole and it is time for us to start filling it! This came to my attention recently after seeing a preacher get arrested for quoting scripture. I noticed how unpopular a comment I made was with a Christian audience. This was interesting since the comment I made was based on the Bible and was applied in proper context. I realized I had touched on, well, something touchy. A strangely unspoken Truth that should be shouted from the rafters of every church, but that instead is being subtly swept under the rug.

Christians in the Middle East get it. They understand the true price of following the good shepherd, which requires a willingness--and even joy--in laying down everything for Jesus. May God strengthen those who are currently experiencing persecution, and may He prepare those who currently are not. I pray in Jesus' name, amen.
