On today's program we wrap up Pastor Lloyd's ten message series called "Christian Growth and Development". This series has taken us down a challenging road of biblical truths in several important areas, like prayer, discipleship, fellowship and marriage. Today Pastor Lloyd will bring the series to a close by once again sharing some insights and encouragement about the culture in which we live. To say that society is hostile toward Christianity is an understatement. It's gotten to the point now where Christians are threatened with jail time and fines for simply speaking the truth from God's word. Is it a hopeless situation? No!
