Al Mohler writes a thought provoking & informative or flag raising article here concerning the battle between "Religious & Erotic Liberty." I am reminded that the church must be faithful to proclaim the gospel verbally & actively. The church is the "pillar and ground of truth" providing the world with a moral plumb line in an age of staunch immorality. Our resilience to live out the gospel will invite persecution; however, we must be valiant, of course empowered by the Spirit, to herald the truth of the gospel lovingly, compassionately, and boldly that King Jesus may be seen as the Great Redeemer. Though I love the nation in which I live, I am reminded in these times that America is not our hope, but rather a mere vessel in the hands of God to provide the church with Religious Liberty, if not only for a limited amount of time, to fulfill the Great Commission. Christians in America must defend their Religious Liberty with the greater desire to utilize that Liberty to funnel resources into furthering the gospel of Jesus Christ into the nations. The church's mission remains the same regardless if our national liberties wane - "Therefore, as you go, disciple all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, [20] teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you each and every day until the end of the age." - (Matthew 28:19-20)."
