Sometimes, tied with deception, people flow against Christianity and sometimes, tied with knowledge, people surge to Christianity.
This is part of the spirtual battle that rages on the Earth until Christs' return. Our job as Christians is to live in ways that honor God, that become a beacon to others who are searching for truth.
Right now we are seeing a surge in Christianity. From celebrities turning mainly Catholic. To people having dreams and feeling sudden pulls towards Christ and The Bible. I, for one, am glad to see it and hope that these people have given their lives to Jesus Christ. They and those around them will be better for it.
In many ways I view this as the work of God in peoples lives. He sends some dreams, some a draw, some need structure in a chaotic world, and some just need.

While we celebrate this and await the return of Christ, we must always remember that people have short memories. Right now we are in the surge. Our family is growing, we have new brothers and sisters that need disciplship and guidance. However, it wasn't that long ago when Christians were not welcome in places. It wasn't that long ago when Christianity wasn't seen as the way.

Right now many people are feeling that Jesus is the way and are turning away from the life they have. They are giving up how they make money in order to live a life for Christ. They are using their platforms to praise His name and lift it up. But, that flow of feeling will soon return and Christians will be right back to pariah. Right back to being mocked and shackled and cornered by law.
What do we do? Do we fight? We do, but not the way that everyone thinks of fighting. We fight through prayer. We fight by being the light in the world, by being a beacon to those who have changed and to those looking on to see if those who have changed will be accepted. We fight by presenting the Light of Jesus Christ to everyone. We fight by always supporting the Truth that will set the world fire with freedom.In closing my dear reader I want to encourage you to always pray, pray daily, pray when you don't feel like it, pray when things look great and when they look the darkest. Then, go out into the world to be the hands and feet of Jesus the way He directs you.
