Status Updates From God's Smuggler

“Persecution is an enemy the Church has met and mastered many times. Indifference could prove to be a far more dangerous foe.”

They preached “with an amazing freedom to churches that had plenty of Bibles, plenty of literature, wide open evangelical meetings—and that were demoralized beyond any churches I had yet met behind the Curtain.”

“Under persecution a man looks at his faith to see if it’s worth fighting for, and this is a scrutiny Christianity can always withstand. The real danger comes with an indirect attack, where a person is lured away…before he has a chance to become strong…for God and the religious instinct, it was attempting to substitute the State, and the emotion of patriotism.”
