Interesting reading today in the newspaper about the Christian lady who lost her case regarding the wearing of a cross at work. She said it was part of her Christianity, the tribunal said, "not so"

Is this the persecution of a Christian and another nail in the coffin of our faith? I don't think so!
The day that the wearing or non wearing of a cross is the centrepiece of the faith is something to be feared.

Of course I feel for the lady and the importance she places on wearing a cross, but I hardly ever see a Christian wearing one, indeed it's the likes of Madonna who seem enjoy the adornment.

There is a serious amount of persecution happening against us Christians, but try reading your New Testament and there is persecution!

Lets not get hung up on what Jesus said we would get if we lived the Christian life. He also went on to say, "but be of good cheer for I have overcome the world for you"
