One is the Bible say about persecution.

Listen to Adrian Rogers.

The church will know more and more persecution.

And there is no way that you can be a genuine Christian and be exempt.

Bible Christians today endure everything from the limitations of their freedoms,

the civil rights, scorn and ridicule in the media, and many are going through prison and many through death.

It was a Bible have to say about that.

Welcome to Love Worth Finding, featuring the profound messages and practical lessons from Adrian Rogers.

According to scripture, becoming a genuine Christian means facing some kind of persecution.

The only way to escape it is to compromise, to conform to this world.

Instead, we can decide now that no matter what happens, nothing will take our joy from us.

If you have your Bible turn to Matthew chapter 5, we'll begin in verse 10 as Adrian Rogers shares how to prepare for persecution.

Would you be finding, please, Matthew chapter 5, we're going to be talking about one of the signs of the last days.

And that is the persecution of the church.

Did you know that's one of the signs that we're living in the last days?

I want to speak to you today about how to prepare for persecution.

For as surely as I am standing here, the church will know more and more and more persecution.

And there is no way, no way, that you can be a genuine Christian and be exempt.

For example, the Bible says in 2 Timothy, yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus.

Shout, suffer persecution.

That's pretty clear statement, all in shout.

No ifs, and buts about it.
