Religious freedom is guaranteed in most democracies. How has John Piper been persecuted?

[Tunnicliffad]

Do not fear the suffering that WILL most assuredly come to you if you want to serve after God for it is a great and mighty Honor.

[illbehonest]

Suffering is a beautiful gift. I praise God for it, for others to see the suffering and see that the treasure of Christ Jesus surpasses all affliction to the flesh.
