from Day by Day with the Persecuted Church Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God. They are brought to their knees and fall, but we rise up and stand firm. (Psalm 20:7-8) Andrés Noriega We live in a time where materialism is defended, where being an atheist is normal, and being a Christian abnormal. Many people criticize our faith saying it is a remnant of the past, of colonialism and exploitation. They conclude that the church is for the weak, a shelter for the defeated. According to their philosophy our faith is a failure and the Christian race will soon become extinct, to make place for a new, perfect society. Communism nevertheless, has lost its grip. They are the ones that have failed. The new, perfect society turned out to be a utopia. The church, on the other side, has grown. The weak Christians turned out to be so strong that all atheistic teaching could not destroy them. The so-called faint-hearted, turned out to be people full of hope, joy and power. Todays society is in a bad shape, while the Church of Jesus Christ awaits the return of the King of kings, Jesus our Lord. They are brought down and fall, but we rise and stand firm. Trust in the name of the Lord our God and stand firm with us. Andrés Noriega from Cuba. This pastor and Bible distributor has greatly spread the Gospel in Cuba. He writes using a pseudonym.
