Does this sound like persecution, anyone? Folks have said it is coming for years. Well, its here.  The article also stated the importance of home fellowship.

On a personal note, Broyles added, "I've been leading Bible studies in my home for 13 years in San Diego County, and I personally believe that home fellowship Bible studies are the past and future of the church. … If you look at China, the church grew from home Bible studies. I'm deeply concerned that if in the U.S. we are not able to meet in our homes and freely practice our religion, then we may be worse off than China."

Broyles also explained to WND that oppressive governments, such as communist China or Nazi Germany, worked to repress home fellowships, labeling them the "underground church" or "subversive groups," legally compelling Christians to meet only in sanctioned, government-controlled "official" churches.

I do believe our government, our nation, is headed toward this sort of regulation against Christianity. It started small, with the control over the public schools, and through the indoctrination of  two generations of children, our country is ripe for a take over of atheistic, socialistic, Marxist mentality.
