Covenant Commission has warned of the rise of Christian persecution in America. That persecution is no longer a distant threat but a present reality. Communists infiltrated our educational, religious, and political institutions throughout the 1900's. They have produced several generations of Christ-hating radicals. As their power is almost complete, they are beginning to live out their worldview in the persecuting of Christians for their belief in Sola Scriptura. Last year a Christian pastor was arrested for conspiracy to abuse children because of a sermon in which he advocated corporal punishment according to the commands of Scripture. A year later, he has been convicted and sentenced to serve 2 years in prison. This story is an urgent wake up call to Christians.
