       On a smaller scale, Christians in the United States certainly do experience persecution, but generally it’s over matters of things like creation, or what is sin versus what is not sin. It’s the typical battles with unbelievers over the truth that have been faced from the beginnings of Christianity. The important thing is that we stay grounded in the Bible, and follow what it says—that we still call sin what actually is sin, and that we do not let what the Bible calls sin to change over time. It is crucial that we still stand for the truth, even when people don’t like it and may even come against us. We need to pick up our crosses, and be willing to stand with Jesus even when it’s not popular and when it’s uncomfortable. Hopefully none of us will ever have to be imprisoned or even face death for our beliefs in our country. If it were to come to that, we should be willing to give up our lives for Christ’s sake. But the battles seem to be more on a smaller scale right now, like the loss of friends, reputations, and even money for the name of Jesus.
