CHRISTMAS & THE PERSECUTED CHURCH
Chris discusses some of the important elements of the Biblical account of the birth of Jesus Christ into the world, with lessons for our modern time. The annual celebration of Christmas is certainly controversial among believers, but this year, we remember that for many Christians around the world, it is a time of accelerated persecution. In both Communist and Islamic countries, believers suffer greater danger because they remember the birth of Christ. This year, while we as Americans continue to be blessed by the freedom that God has given to our country, there are many of our brothers and sisters who suffer for the cause of the Gospel.
