Are We Next?

Persecution of Christians is a way of life and on the increase in Asia and the world over. Thus, of late, I have been wondering: Are we next?

Let's assume for a moment (or more) that serious - even brutal - persecution may soon be part of our Christendom reality.

This possible (probable?) scenario begs - for starters - the following corollary questions and comments:

Are we ready? Are we preparing?

How truly intimate with Jesus and the Body of Christ are we?

Unengaged, uninvolved, spectator believers are not a threat to godless governments, institutions and individuals that only persecute fruit-bearing Christians.

Is the testimony of my lifestyle worthy of persecution for Christ's sake?

How about yours?

What bodies of believers from around the world will seek God for tangible ways to remind us that we have not been forgotten by our brothers and sisters - if, when, serious persecution is upon us?

Meanwhile, having briefly considered what it would be like for "us" to be "them":

How can you help encourage and equip those that are already suffering persecution or living daily under its threat.

The ministry of Frontline Resources is one way you are able to: Remember them that are in bonds (in ARNA), as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body. Hebrews 13:3
