The War Against Christ

The war against Christ has been going on for as long as anyone in the underground church can remember.  It seems to its members to be as old as the Church itself.  After Christ was killed, His followers became targets.  The first persecutors mockingly called them “Christ-ians,” meaning partisans of Christ. They were then and are now, hunted relentlessly.  Only today, the pursuers have technology.  Each day, that technology for identifying Christians and tracking them down gets better and better.  Meanwhile, anti-Christian hatred has grown strong and…
