Bible Note: Schwartzkm- The growth of numbers of religions differing from Christianity shouldn't be a surprise. I know that Christianity is spreading at a great pace, also. However, Jesus stated that there would be few that would enter the "narrow gate", and we know that means even those who call themselves Christian but do not know the true meaning of the word. I count myself blessed to be given that faith to receive Jesus as my Savior and it is up to us to show people what it means to be a true Christian - even though we will never be the majority and it may mean all kinds of persecution in these days and in the days to come. Keep walking in faith, brother. Debbie |
