You and I live in challenging days. Perhaps more than any other time in our lifetime, you sense the uneasiness that comes from knowing your religious beliefs represent a minority worldview. That Jesus is the only way rings not only unpopular, but sounds bigoted and divisive. Now suffering from the shock of being locked out of public schools, local and national politics and experiencing a marginalizing in their own communities, Christians tend to wander aimlessly through the wreckage wondering what hit them. But that's not what Christ has in mind for his people. Ours is to be a victorious experience that draws others to the Savior. Since the inception of the church, believers have confronted culture with the life-changing message of Christ and his love. Now is no time to shrink from that mission.
