REAL PERSECUTION

There's a cartoon that puts persecution in perspective. In the four panels, we see people praying--first a New Testament Christian: "Lord, give me the courage to face this accusing mob." Then a Reformation Christian: "Lord, help me declare Your truth despite the cost." A 20th Century believer from Soviet Russia: "Lord may we persevere faithfully under these burdens." Then finally, today's American Christian: "Lord, the Audi's been running rough lately."

From Robert Leroe's Sermon "Walking Fearlessly"
