Why Persecution is Coming on Churches in America

Why in the world would God ordain a persecution of His church in America today? For what possible reason might we be subjected to persecution?

Kevin Swanson suggests the ELCA decision to ordain homosexuals, and then adds a few other reasons why judgment begins in the household of God. He refers to the severe Diocletian persecution, and the state of the church during that time. Then he draws some comparisons with the state of the church in America today. Could we use a good persecution?

Finally, Pastor Swanson provides a list of things God really wants for His church, drawing from Isaiah 58 and Zechariah 7:8-14.
