Sharing your faith can be scary and intimidating, but for some it can be life-threatening. I'm troubled by how casual and complacent I can be in my faith, and I'm challenged when I see the faith of believers who live under threats, who live through violent assaults, legal attacks, and false imprisonment. Even more, I'm inspired by their compassion as they look beyond the hate of those who persecute them, and instead of contempt, instead of cursing, they share the love of Christ, knowing as Jesus did, that those who persecute them do not know what they are doing. They do not know the love of God, who would become flesh and blood, live among us, then take upon himself the sins of the world.
I'm reminded of a song by DeGarmo & Key from the 80s. "I Don't Wanna Be a Casual Christian."
Thank you for joining us.
Huge thanks to Mike Bridgewater our engineer, JD Miller our musical wizard, and Mt Gilead Church our home to record.
