The Bleating of the Sheep and the Lowing of the Oxen

By: Zach Collins Date: August 20th, 2021 Growing up, my father and mother gave me a chore list. A staple of many childhoods. It was posted on the refrigerator door, next to the photos of family, friends, and the magnetic tourist souvenirs from all the locations that my mother had visited in her travels. The list was clear and specific, complete with obligations that I could understand and obey every single week. As most children, after I completed the chores on the list, I received payment in exchange for my work. It seems that twenty dollars went much further in my childhood! As I reflect upon the list, I realize that, at the core of this list, was a form of parental training.

Words of Life – Unity Under Persecution (Season 4, Episode 5)

What happens when pressure on the church is no longer theoretical—but real? As religious liberty erodes and sacred spaces are treated as expendable, the church of Christ faces a defining moment.

We explore: Why the church has always lived in a hostile world (John 15:18) How religious liberty erodes gradually—not suddenly Satan’s tactic of distorting the church’s image Why division over opinions is more dangerous than persecution How unity, truth, and love sustained the New Testament church under fire If faith is becoming costly again, the church must become stronger—not splintered. Don’t let what doesn’t matter divide those who do.
