Today in church, the pastor talked about persecution and testing our faith. I have often wondered if I wouldbe a Christian if I had grown up in another part of the world...even another part of my home province. I grew up in a Bible-belt community and I now go to school in a small town Bible College. The pastor also talked about memorizing Scripture. I had always thought this was important, but it hit me today as to why it is important. Not only is it so that we don't sin against God, but also because there may come a time when it will be illegal to be a Christian even here in Canada, a time when our Bibles will be torn from us. When we do not have the privilege of reading the Bible, let alone many different translations of it, what will we do?
