  2. scripture story Matthew 24 & 2 Timothy 3:12

  3. This weeks reading • Love under Fire ch.1 & ch. 2

  4. What do you think? Put the following in order…which are you most willing to die for? • Theological doctrines • Your personal faith • Your family • Your friends • Your civil rights • Your country • Someone else's rights • Stopping the suffering of another person

  5. Persecution Persecution to the early Christians does not exist in North America today. We oftentimes think of ourselves as persecuted when someone disagrees with us or declines to give us a job if we aren’t able to work on Sabbath. (That’s more accurately described as religious discrimination.) But the kind of persecution that the early believers endured was different. They faced death—horrible, brutal deaths. In other parts of the world Christians still face persecution in its truest sense. They risk their lives and the lives of their families in order to worship God. They are willing to die in order to follow the law of God. Now that is devotion! (To see what the Adventist Church is doing to fight religious discrimination and persecution, visit http://parl.gc.adventist.org.)
