Most of us have never experienced life in a country hostile to Christianity, though we’re increasingly feeling the heat from those who want to extinguish our religious freedoms.
Places like North Korea, China, predominantly Muslim countries, and others routinely harass, jail, persecute, beat and even kill believers.

Their death doesn’t make the evening news, but it does make the heavenly roll call.
While some have been called to die a martyr’s death and thereby receive the martyr’s crown, others have been called to sound the alarm, resist tyranny, and boldly call authorities to task in the name of our God-given right to worship how, when, and where the Holy Spirit leads us.

Humble but obedient Pastors have often spearheaded these efforts and suffered greatly. Pastor Christian Ionescu from Romania said this, "I immigrated (to the US) in 1987 from a country where the government could close down and even demolish churches at will! But in the end [the government] lost, because a few pastors stood up to the tyranny and (the) people followed."

As we consider the encroaching restrictions state and local authorities are enacting on our own cities and towns, it’s time Pastors and churches begin to consider what a regathering of their people should look like.

The hosts on this program interview two Pastors about how and why they’re planning to open their churches for services within the next few weeks.
