JD: You know we don’t often use the term cultural wars and we don’t use that term on this program but we’re actually discussing this issue almost each and every week. And David I have to believe that the conflict continues to intensify.
DJ: I would agree with you. A number of years ago John MacArthur wrote a book on this very issue Culture Wars. As we observe each week as you and I keep our eyes on the headlines of what are coming out and try to do cutting edge work on topics that are breaking almost each and every week. What we see is that the attack on Christianity in general, Biblical truth is something that is happening not only here in the United States but worldwide.
In some places it takes the form of direct persecution of
Christians in very anti-Christian environments such as North Koreas, China,
Iran and other places like northern India for example where Christians are actually
daily under the threat for their very lives simply because they name the name
of Jesus. But in other places for example here in the west it may not take that
form of absolute persecution in terms of physical harm. There is certainly a
social and cultural component to that where the word of God comes under attack
daily.
Also, Christians who believe that the Bible is the word of God as you
and I and most of our listeners do we fall under mocking and various forms of
even discrimination and being marginalized by the culture. And now its rising
to the level of entering into the laws that are being put into place in places
like the United States, Canada, Great Britain and Western Europe where
Christian values are really coming under scrutiny. And many of the things that
we believe are slowly but surely becoming illegal.
JD: David James with a look at the attack on Christianity the
Christians and Biblical truth and it’s happening not only here in America but
worldwide.
We report this information because it is setting the stage
for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
The attacks on Christians and the Biblical truth that
Christians endeavor to follow is so bad that these believers are in fear for
their own lives. They must decide whether to obey God or man. The Apostle Peter
had that same problem as recorded in Axes chapter 4. Peter said that he would obey
God, that’s Axes 4:19 & 20.
As we draw closer to the Tribulation period the more intense
this battle will become. We as Christians must prepare today for tomorrow.
