I'm An Atheist
What if all of society were against us simply because we believed in Jesus Christ? Most of us in the modern western world have not experienced that level of demand upon our faith. We walk unchallenged, and sad to say because of that, many of us live mediocre Christian lives. It was not so with the early Church
Persecution and Hope
Up to this point the church is on a bit of a hot streak, enjoying the grace of God as they grow in numbers and seeing the gospel transform the lives of many.
