When the Christian Law Association recently posted a message publicly—beyond its normal audience of supporters and followers—the response was eye-opening. While many Christians were encouraged and thankful for the ministry’s stand, the sheer flood of hateful comments directed against God, the Bible, and those who love Him was absolutely staggering. It wasn’t a small handful of critics; it was an overwhelming outpouring of anger and hostility toward even the mention of Jesus Christ.
This experience is a sobering reminder of the spiritual climate in America today. Many of us, faithfully attending our churches and surrounded by fellow believers, can begin to feel insulated from the growing opposition to Christianity in our culture. We live and serve in communities where the Bible is respected, where prayer is normal, and where faith in God is woven into the fabric of daily life. But the reality outside those circles is very different. There is a deepening resentment toward God’s Word and those who stand for Biblical truth.
As Christians, we must not let this discourage us but rather drive us to our knees in prayer. America desperately needs revival.
The angry words and vicious attacks we see are not just against us—they are against the Savior we serve. Our response must be one of love, truth, and unwavering commitment to intercede for those who oppose the Gospel. Scripture reminds us that “all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution” (2 Timothy 3:12), but it also reminds us to “love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you” (Matthew 5:44).
This moment should shake us out of complacency. It should remind us that our nation’s spiritual battle is very real, and the need for Christians to stand boldly and pray fervently has never been greater. Let us pray for America, for our leaders, and even for those who are hostile to the Gospel—that their hearts might be softened and turned to Christ. May we refuse to retreat into silence and instead continue to let our light shine in a world that desperately needs it.
