Have you ever been persecuted?

[KeptByTheWord]

I have never been persecuted to the point of fearing for my life. But, the closest I have come to persecution has come from other Christians, many of them my family... because our doctrinal beliefs differ.

I do believe that in preparation for the coming days, it is wise to now begin to prepare both spiritually and physically for those difficult times. We must not bury our heads in the sand, and think that the things that happen in other countries around the world will never come here.
