[vimeo 121718548 w=600 h=381]
In the mid 3rd century, the church faced its most brutal persecution under the brief reign of Decius. Everyone in the Empire, Christians included, were forced to bend to Roman governmental pressure, to sacrifice to Roman gods and then sign a document proving they complied. To refuse meant imprisonment or death. The wake of this edict and the Church’s response to it reverberated for centuries. Cyprian of Carthage was a voice for the Gospel during this time. His words of grace and reconciliation proved him to be a vital defender of the faith.

Truth: Defending the Faith – Part 4

[vimeo 119297697 w=600 h=381]
It can be difficult in today’s world to communicate the truths of the Gospel. Often in media, competing points-of-view are represented in ways that make Christ-followers feel irrelevant. It is up to us, as believing Christians, to clearly communicate the freedom and abundant life found in Christ while using relevant ways that represent the Truth. In doing this, we have to be careful not to water down the life-changing message in order to be more accepted by the world. Tertullian battled this apparent tendency in the second century, as some Christians were using popular philosophy to interpret Jesus and His message instead of letting the message speak for itself.
