In 1934 Jews were forced to choose loyalty either to Nazi-Germany or the God of Israel. If they wanted to remain in Europe they had to renounce the Jewish faith and be assimilated into the Nazi-regime. Not unlike Christians in the twenty-first century. Each one who is called by His Name must choose - we must choose to proclaim the gospel to a lost and dying world. We must choose to stand against sin as defined in scripture. We must choose to speak up against laws that are against God’ Word. We must choose to be politically incorrect in the work place, in our homes and neighborhoods as we take our stand as followers of Christ. We too must choose.

When the Jews did not obey the brown shirts and their leader Adolf Hitler, German authorities began seeking a “final solution” to the Jewish problem. Adolf Hitler is dead, along with the brown shirts and Gestapo - yet this anti-christ spirit lives on in America today. By perpetuating the myth of the so-called “separation of church and state,” radical anti-Christian groups have been able to persuade public officials to silence religious expression. In a growing number of cases, government officials are seeking to revoke church tax exemptions…seize their land…stop their community outreach ministries…deny them equal access to public buildings…and restraining pastors from preaching biblical Truth as it relates to “political” issues and candidates.

As Saeed Abedini, a Christian convent, a naturalized citizen of the United States is being held in an Iranian prison, convicted of threatening national security due to his Christian beliefs, the American government remains silent.

Will we see Christians in America persecuted for their faith?

We already are.!.
