We, as followers of Christ, become so engrossed in our own personal struggles that we sometimes lose perspective on Satan’s ultimate goal and his strategies. We often fail to remember that the moment we accepted Christ as Savior, we declared war on Satan’s kingdom and he declared war on us.
In this episode, Ron Pearce shares a timely and challenging message drawn from his conversations with national church leaders in Vietnam, India, China, and Ethiopia. When asked how they prepare believers for persecution, these leaders responded with a unified theme: teach God’s perspective.Ron unpacks how believers around the world are learning to step back, see their suffering in light of eternity, and stand firm through hardship. You’ll hear a gripping story from India, where new Christians were driven from their village and forced to live on the edge of the jungle—infested with biting flies—yet still refused to renounce Jesus. Why? Because they were equipped with the Truth of Scripture and a clear understanding of what truly matters.This episode challenges us in North America to shift from shallow responses to suffering toward a deeper, biblical foundation that prepares us for what’s coming. It’s not about escaping hardship—it’s about seeing it from heaven’s view. Listen now...

This is an edited and paraphrased version of the 21st chapter from "Revival Lectures" by Charles Grandison Finney. This message is as much for the Church today as when it was first brought forth in a series of lectures in the 1830s. We earnestly pray that you'll "read it and weep!" I cannot conclude any teaching on revival without warning converts against backsliding. In discussing this subject, I will show: 1) What backsliding in heart is not, 2) What backsliding in heart is, 3) What are the evidences of a backslidden heart, 4) What are the consequences of backsliding in heart, and 5) How to recover.

What does it mean to be a bondservant? This word epitomizes the character and passion of a worldwide “army” of national workers that God is currently raising up.
