Galatians 5:22-23 NASB  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

My husband and I have had several discussions over the last few years about the future of the American church and the coming persecution of believers. We believe that persecution will be of a legal nature, not a physical or violent nature. In other parts of the world it is already illegal to proselytize (witness or try to convert non-believers). And in other places simply being a Christian is illegal and can cost you your life.

But while proclaiming Christ may be illegal in some countries, being Christ-like will never be illegal! Living out the fruit of the Spirit: showing the love of Christ, exuding the joy and peace of Christ, these are the things that will make the difference. In the darkest parts of the world, or right here in America, we can live out Christ for the world to see.
