The Growing Storm: The Greatest Challenges Christians Face in 2025

Posted on by thechristiantechnerd

In my opinion, as we step further into 2025, Christianity is facing not just challenges, but spiritual warfare of historic proportions. What was once cultural resistance has escalated into full-blown hostility against biblical truth. The enemy prowls more boldly than ever, as foretold in Scripture:

“Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.” — 2 Timothy 3:12

These are not just difficult times—they are perilous times. And unless the Church awakens, the light risks being overshadowed by darkness.

1. Persecution and Discrimination: The Blood of the Saints Cries Out

Across the world, over 380 million Christians endure violent persecution—a modern-day martyrdom hidden behind political silence and apathy. These are not just statistics. These are brothers and sisters being beaten, raped, imprisoned, tortured, and murdered for simply uttering the name of Jesus.

“They will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake.” — Matthew 24:9

In nations ruled by tyrants, in regions controlled by extremists, believers are hunted like criminals. Bibles are burned. Churches are bombed. Children are abducted. The Cross is illegal.

Prayer:
Lord Jesus, protect Your persecuted Church. Strengthen their spirits and deliver them from evil. Let their suffering not be in vain, but a testimony to Your power. Amen.

2. The Falling Away: Empty Pews, Empty Hearts

The Church in the West is bleeding out. Sunday services echo with the silence of missing generations. Entire families walk away from the faith, seduced by secularism, distracted by digital noise, or disillusioned by shallow religion.

“For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching… and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.” — 2 Timothy 4:3-4

Evangelism has stalled. Many pastors stand before half-empty sanctuaries, preaching to the faithful remnant while wondering how to reach a culture that views Christianity as a joke or a threat.

Prayer:
Father God, rekindle the fire of revival in our hearts. Fill Your Church with conviction, urgency, and boldness. Raise up laborers for the harvest. Amen.

3. The Crisis of Theological Illiteracy: A Church Without Roots

A growing number of Christians cannot articulate the Gospel, define the Trinity, or distinguish truth from falsehood. The age of shallow spirituality has left the Church vulnerable to deception.

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” — Hosea 4:6

Many believers now form their theology from social media memes and TikTok influencers rather than the Word of God. This famine of biblical understanding weakens the Church from within.

Prayer:
Holy Spirit, ignite a hunger for truth in us. Give us discernment, wisdom, and a deep love for Your Word. Protect us from lies clothed in light. Amen.

4. The World’s Pressure: Conform or Be Canceled

The spirit of this age demands conformity. Biblical convictions are now labeled as hate speech. Those who stand for truth risk losing jobs, relationships, reputations—even freedom.

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind.” — Romans 12:2

Christians are cornered into silence on issues like abortion, gender, and sexuality. Even within the Church, division festers. Entire denominations fracture over doctrines that Scripture made clear centuries ago.

Prayer:
Lord, make us bold like lions, gentle like doves, and unwavering like the saints of old. Strengthen Your people to speak truth in love and endure mockery for Your name’s sake. Amen.

A Final Word: Hold the Line

The days are dark, but the light of Christ shines brighter still. We are not called to comfort—we are called to courage. The Church must return to the Word, to prayer, to holiness.

“Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong.” — 1 Corinthians 16:13

Now is not the time to retreat. Now is the time to stand.

Final Prayer:
Almighty God, awaken Your Church from its slumber. Let the fear of the Lord fall upon us again. May we endure hardship, rejoice in suffering, and glorify You until the very end. Come, Lord Jesus. Amen.

An Unusual Way To Deepen Your Faith

Posted on by thechristiantechnerd

God has given us a lot of blessings.

Including the ability to create and appreciate art.

Art is an incredible way to express your true feelings in ways that words can’t.

But did you know that it can also be an incredible tool to deepen your faith and connect with God?

It’s true.

Throughout the Sacred Texts, we see examples of art being used to glorify God and express our love for Him.

In Exodus 31, God tells Moses to choose Bezalel, a skilled artisan, to create the artwork for the tabernacle.

In Psalm 33 3, we are encouraged to sing, play skillfully, and shout for joy.

When we engage in artistic activities like painting, drawing, or playing music, we are tapping into that divine spark within us.

We are using the talents and abilities that God has given us to create something beautiful and meaningful.

And in doing so, we are glorifying Him and deepening our faith.

When we create art that reflects God’s beauty and love, we are expressing our faith in a unique way. 

Throughout history, many of the greatest works of art have been inspired by Christian themes and beliefs.

Art is not just for “professionals.”

Anyone can engage in artistic activities.

Whether it’s painting a picture, writing a poem, or playing an instrument, art can be anything.

By tapping into our creative energy, we can connect with God and express ourselves in a way that is pleasing to Him.

So if you’re looking for more ways to deepen your faith and connect with God, I encourage you to try incorporating art into your daily routine. 

Take some time to reflect on the beauty of God’s creation, and let that inspire you to create something beautiful of your own.

It is okay if what you create has flaws.

Actually, it is supposed to.

The point is to express yourself in different ways.

Why don’t you try it?

And if you need some guidance.

See why creating art is easier than you think.

Why Do Miracles Not Happen Anymore?

Posted on by thechristiantechnerd

A little boy once asked me,

“Why do miracles not happen anymore?”

This is something that I’ve heard many times.

People don’t believe in miracles because they don’t see them.

And yet God works wonders every day.

There is actually one I’d like to share with you in this Christian blog post.

There is a good woman at my church named Sarah (just for this article because I don’t know if she’d want me using her real name without her permission).

Sarah spends most of her time helping people.

In her profession, she nurses people back to health.

In her day-to-day, she volunteers.

She gives most of what she makes away.

And she does that with a smile on her face.

People see her and believe she was always like that.

What they don’t know is that Sarah grew up in the streets.

She was poor, and she was struggling with addiction.

Her friends and family had given up on her.

She felt alone, hopeless, and abandoned. 

But one fateful day, God stepped in and changed everything.

Sarah was wandering the streets, lost and desperate, when she stumbled upon a small church. 

She had no idea why she was drawn to it, but something within her compelled her to step inside. 

As she sat in the back, tears streaming down her face, she felt a gentle touch on her shoulder.

An elderly woman, with a warm smile and a gentle voice, asked Sarah if she was alright. 

Sarah, unable to hold back her emotions, shared her story of pain and despair. 

The woman listened intently, offering no judgment.

When Sarah finished, the woman asked if she could pray with her. 

Sarah, who had long since abandoned her faith, hesitated but ultimately agreed.

As they prayed together, something remarkable happened. 

Sarah felt an overwhelming sense of peace and love envelop her. 

Unlike anything she had ever experienced before. 

It was as if the weight of her struggles was being lifted from her shoulders. 

In that moment, Sarah knew, without a doubt, that God was with her.

From that day on, Sarah changed. 

She found the courage to face her addiction and began the journey toward recovery. 

She reconnected with her faith, attending church regularly, and forging a deep, personal relationship with God.

She even got a job as a nurse!

Over time, she began to share her story with others, offering hope and inspiration to those who were struggling.

That, my friends, is clear proof that miracles still happen.

Sarah’s story of redemption is a true testament to God’s love.

He supports us even when we don’t realize it.

Let us always remember that.

This Is Pulling You Away From God’s Path

Posted on by thechristiantechnerd

Who is the biggest enemy of Christianity?

Is it atheism?

Is it other religions?

No, the biggest enemy of Christianity is distraction.

Distraction is everywhere.

In our smartphones.

In the media.

Even in our thoughts.

Many have wandered away from the flock, lured by the shiny lustre of materialism, quick gratification, and worldly pleasures.

But fear not my Christian friends.

For our God is a loving shepherd who will guide us back to His path if we are willing to follow.

To stay firmly rooted in our faith, we need to cultivate a relationship with God that is built on trust and communication.

This means setting aside time each day for prayer, Scripture study, and quiet reflection.

As we do this, we are opening our hearts to hear God’s voice while building a solid foundation that can withstand the storms.

Our community plays a crucial role in keeping us grounded as well.

As we gather together in worship, fellowship, and service, we are reminded of our shared mission to be the light of Christ in the world.

We can support one another, pray for one another, and hold each other accountable as we strive to walk in God’s path.

It is also essential that we make a conscious effort to filter out the noise of the world. 

This doesn’t mean we should bury our heads in the sand.

But rather, we must learn to discern what is truly important and what is merely a distraction.

By staying informed and engaged, we can make wise decisions that are rooted in our faith, and live in a way that serves God.

God is with us every step of the way.

This is how he aids us in resisting temptation.

He will support us if we let Him.

And He will give us the strength to stay on the path He has laid out for us.

So let’s resist distraction, follow God’s guidance, praise Jesus, and journey together toward the Lord’s eternal kingdom.
