Nobody Special 125 | Is This Persecution?
Are we being persecuted? Possibly. John MacArthur in California recently had to tell Governor Newsom and the state of California that they would continue to sing and meet together. Everyone has opinions and we look at how the Christian should respond to government over-reach.
John MacArthur recently penned an open letter to the State of California regarding their recent statement that churches cannot sing and cannot meet in person. After prayer from the church pastors and elders, Grace Community Church decided this was an act too far to ban the church from worshipping God.
Christians over the past few years have found various reasons to claim persecution. Now, we find ourselves facing actual persecution, at least in the case of California, and must decide how we should continue to worship our God and be faithful to Him. To that, we turn to Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered and said to the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. If this be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king. But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up.“ (â€Daniel‬ â€3:16-18‬ â€ESV‬‬)
