"I tell you: To preach the true
gospel in a christian world today, is to engage yourself in more warfare than to
preach the true gospel in the world."

Indeed I believe it is within "Christianity" where true Christians will be persecuted FIRST. In fact it's already happening....
Just tell them that believing in a literal six day Creation week isn't an optional view; its a biblical fact.
Just tell them that homosexuality "of the heart" is condemned by God.
Just tell them that Scripture is our SOLE source of authority for all things pertaining to life and godliness for the Christian.
Just tell them that psychology is worthless and full of doctrines of demons and should be totally rejected.
Just tell them that God is absolutely and completely sovereign and doesn't look to man in order to know what to do in the future.
Just them that God hates the wicked.
Just tell them that God is the only One who chose whom He will save, and man has no choice in the matter.
Just tell them that there is no such thing as "free will".
Just tell them that all men are born dead in their sins, at enmity with God, not neutral toward Him.
Just tell them there is no island of righteousness in any man's heart.
Just tell them there is but one interpretation of Scripture.
Just tell them that Truth is knowable.
Just tell them that Truth and Truth's Gospel is not constrained by culture.
Just tell them that 2 John 9-11 means what it says: if you welcome a heretic, you yourself are guilty of his wicked deeds now.
Just tell them that politics won't save America.
Just tell them that pro-life means God is against all abortions, even one -- no exceptions.
Just tell them that your loyalty to Christ trumps all things including the Republican party and therefore you refuse to align with Egypt.
Just tell them that voting for the "lesser evil" is voting for evil and that displeases God and shows a lack of trust in Him and His ways.
Just tell them the truth and see the anger and hostility from those who'd rather compromise with the enemy of the Cross but have no problem dividing from you as you hold to biblical doctrine.
Just tell them that you cannot be a heretic and a Christian; you cannot hold to (much less preach!) panentheism, spiritual sex with God, and deny Justification by faith alone and still be a Christian.
Just tell them.
