All in perspective...

Brother will deliver brother over to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death, and you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next, for truly, I say to you, you will not have gone through all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes. (Matthew 10:21-23 ESV) When we look at this world, and the negative reaction to the gospel that creates all sorts of havoc in families, communities and nations, we may feel like punting and running away. But rather than run away, Christ tells us to run TO the next town, looking for those who are receptive, letting as many as possible hear before He returns. We need to step back and get the bigger picture of what God is, and is going to do, and our part in it.
