But in a recent discussion, a man said it is not common in America, America being a better place. I replied that many believers come from sheltered homes, remain sheltered in Bible College, and continue living sheltered lives in the pulpit surrounded by believers. And this is good, but many experience persecution upholding Christ in the pagan workplace. And experience division in their families as Jesus describes. And never have sure footing in the world because of following Christ.

What are your views or experiences? “Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.” (2 Timothy 3:12) (KJV 1900)
