For what credit is it if, when you sin and are beaten for it, you endure? But if when you do good and suffer for it you endure, this is a gracious thing in the sight of God.
(1 Peter 2:20 ESV)
I just wanted to say that in light of this newest display of pro-gay and anti-Christ rhetoric, that I see a necessary move of the church to become leaner and stronger by shedding the extra weight of the mega-churches era.
Christians should be so because they follow Jesus, not because their church has great benefits and social or self-improvement programs.
We will become persecuted and forced to adhere to the new age movement of humanism, unless we deconstruct ourselves and become more mobile and discreet.
Governmental laws and programs will be instituted against the institutional churches. Churches and Christians who own businesses will be forced to abide by man's un-Godly laws under monetary and even criminal penalties.
You will have to make a choice. Either you will trust God or not. You may not trust Him and chose to buckle into the threats of our culture, but that will only result in your loss of God's favor, protection and blessings, or you can stand up by faith for God and lose your job, business, or church, but gain God's favor, protection and blessings!
Which one will you chose?
Christians are being backed into a corner. God is allowing Satan to grow in strength in order to fulfill the end times prophecies and to force a decision on the part of many who profess His Lordship over themselves.
It's not spiritually, and even physically healthy for us to live in ignorant bliss. Ignorant bliss can get you killed. Let's hold on to hope, but not at the expense of loosing touch with reality. I can't find anywhere in the bible where there's a promise of a super harvest of souls. Yes, Jesus did say in His day that the fields are ripe for harvest, and they still are. But the real truth is this, that as the end of days grow fewer we will see an increase in lawlessness. Anyone who reads their bible knows I'm telling the truth.

"My son, if your heart is wise, my heart too will be glad. My inmost being will exult when your lips speak what is right. Let not your heart envy sinners, but continue in the fear of the LORD all the day. Surely there is a future, and your hope will not be cut off. "
(Proverbs 23:15-18 ESV)
