“If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you.”

Jesus- John 15:18

“Do not marvel, my brethren, if the world hates you.”

1 John 3:13

Whosoever wants to be friends with the world, makes himself the enemy of God.”

James 4:4

“Because I chose you to come out of the world, therefore, the world hates you.”

John 15:19

“For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed.”

2 Thessalonians 2:7-8

Over half of all Americans are “highly influenced” by religion, and 56 million attend church every Sunday in over 320,000 different churches.

An average of 10 new churches open everyday in schools, warehouses, storefronts and family rooms in spite of increased government restrictions and regulations.

We are confident the Gates of Hell will never succeed against God’s plan for the Church.

conclusion

We run with endurance the race that is set before us.
