I read recently that the war on Christianity is speeding up. An email report from The American Center for Law and Justice ( ACLJ) on August 19th, 2025, told of a recent arrest of a preacher on the streets of Chicago for sharing the Gospel and proclaiming Jesus. The next day, the police arrested two more preachers in the same location. ACLJ successfully defended the preachers in criminal court and then filed a civil rights lawsuit against the city of Chicago. The city is weaponizing the government against Christians, which is unconstitutional. ACLJ added that the LEFT is pushing war on the Christian faith; the organization has taken on 112 religious liberty cases this past year to defend Christianity.
Dr. Andrew Davis, a senior pastor of First Baptist Church of Durham, N.C., wrote in Tabletalk magazine of May 2025 that some non-Christians “hate the Bible teachings on sex and gender. They see Christianity as regressive, oppressive, intolerant, bigoted, anti-science, racist, misogynistic, homophobic, and sexist. Each of the attacks can and must be refuted by the declaration of Truth in the perfection of God-breathed Scripture.”
Are you ready to defend and share the Gospel like the Chicago preachers arrested recently? Pastor Burk Parsons of Tabletalk magazine describes the Gospel well. ” It’s good news- the good news about what our triune God has accomplished for His people: the Father’s sending His son, the incarnate Jesus Christ, to live perfectly, fulfill the law, and die sacrificially, satisfying God’s wrath against us that we might not face hell, thereby atoning for our sins, and raising Him from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit. It is the victorious announcement that God saves sinners.” Since the Gospel takes away our guilt and shame and the power of sin, we can stand before a merciful, loving, just, and Holy God eternally. What a gift to mankind for all who believe.
One of the mission goals of Global Faith is to be an ambassador of Christ. Join us in spreading the Good News of the Gospel and standing for God’s eternal Word and Truth as found in the sacred Christian Bible.
