A Michigan teenager was suspended last week for donning a message to voice his objection to a pro-homosexual event being held at his high school. You can read the news article here.

Paul warned Timothy that everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. Here in America, we haven't had to worry about that the way Paul did or the way Christians in other parts of the world do now, but that is changing.

In a sermon a couple of weeks ago I mentioned that I believe that there is suffering ahead for the body of Christ here in America. It's becoming increasingly evident that hostility against genuine faith in our country is escalating. It is ridiculed in the movies, chastised and marginalized in more and more segments of our society.

What do you think? Do you sense that persecution is on the horizon for the church in America?
