Subhead: Danger and the gospel go together. Today we begin a short series exploring how.
Intro: Christians? The most persecuted? Today’s report shares the background, and tomorrow we’ll look at what to do.
Bible segment: Read-through with The Bible Project
Hosea 1-5, NIV (New International Version)
Apologetics segment:
Even secular sources like Newsweek are reporting that the persecution of Christians is nearing the point of genocide.(1) And how do we know this isn’t just a bunch of Christian puffery? The article also says that Christianity is at risk of disappearing, and if you know your Bible and trust that Jesus is Lord, there is no risk of that.
