The church was born in the face of oppression and because of that oppression, some would argue thrived. Recently, and I’ve referenced this before, the people at Pew research told us that more and more people are calling not calling themselves Christian (an eight percent drop in the last seven years). Some have posited that is because being a Christian, unlike it was twenty or thirty years ago, is unfashionable. My brother Aaron Foltz wasn’t too worried about Christianity’s social disadvantage. He told me and our friend Jerome that recently, via Twitter, the church’s growth has exploded during periods of disadvantage. The early church was his best example, but also what’s happened in so-called anti-Christian nations like China.
