THE PRIVILEGE OF PERSECUTION
Introduction
Moeller
and Hegg describe the misconceptions and subtle paternalism they carried on their
first trips overseas and how they went on to learn spiritual lessons that have redefined
their approach to the faith.
Chapter 1: God and His Word
The
persecuted church ascribes a high honor to God's Word and relies on it wholly. In
fact, their spiritual strength is often predicated on their possession of "holy
writ," and they have a reverence for the text that we too often seem to have lost.
Chapter 2: Worship and the ChurchAmerican churches can settle into
comfortable, convenient worship experiences. But in many other countries, by the
time a church service starts, people have already waited for two to three hours,
and there is standing room only. In the persecuted church, worship is seen as a
life-giving necessity.
Chapter 3: Prayer and Dependence
Reliance
upon prayer marks the persecuted church. Also, prayer is seen as a community-building
spiritual discipline. If you want to have a relationship with your neighbor, then
you pray for them and maybe even with them. Witnessing often takes place when an
unbeliever asks a Christian to pray for their sick child or some other serious need.
Chapter 4: Community, Culture, and Evangelism
Authentic community
leads to authentic holiness. In the persecuted church, spiritual perseverance requires
interdependence.
Chapter 5: Leadership, Authority, and Power
Persecuted
Christians are generally law-abiding citizens who break laws only to share and live
out their faith. They don't seek their "rights." They don't usually seek to change
the government. Instead they try to change hearts one at a time through the gospel.
Chapter
6: Generosity and Stewardship
Many poverty-stricken Christians overseas
still give, sometimes radically. Such generosity is not seen as an "extra" but as
an indispensible aspect of their spiritual existence.
