Warning! This picture contains Outdated Cultural Depictions!” Having cut the cable several months ago, we subscribed to an on-line service that allows us to watch the older TV programs. Linda and I often enjoy our coffee and dessert while watching the reruns of The Real McCoy’s. For some reason, the show is a lot funnier today than it was when I was a 10-year-old boy. Recently, I saw the above warning before one of the old westerns. What? Yep? This is one of the warnings added over the last few years to declare the TV programs and movies made a generation ago are no longer acceptable. Certainly we can’t watch programs where the good guys win, and the Sheriff always catches the criminals!! The Bolshevik goal is to cancel the “unwoke” culture of the past, including one’s love of God, love of country, and love of family, as such opinions are now considered “unsafe” for sensitive ears. Please join us for this next sermon in this series: “How Should We Then Live?” Title of this sermon is, “To Make Christ Known.” Warning: This sermon contains some outdated, biblical principles.”

According to 1 Peter 4:12-17, Christians should expect persecution to increase as we approach the end of this age, for God ordained it to purge the Church of false believers.

Viewing current events through the lens of the Scriptures, we can see many major prophetic implications.

The Apostle Peter wrote his two letters to those Christians who had left Rome to avoid persecution, only to find themselves enduring the same hostility in the Roman Provinces of Asia Minor.

If we are to have an effective witness to a world that is becoming increasingly hostile toward Christianity, how should we then live?

Peter began by addressing wives who had become Christians, but who were living with unbelieving husbands.

Peter then addressed husbands who had become Christians, but who were living with unbelieving wives.
