The rise of globalism presents significant challenges to the public expression of the Christian faith. As nations increasingly adopt policies promoting a homogenized global culture, the space for practicing and proclaiming Christian beliefs in public spheres diminishes. This trend reflects a departure from acknowledging God's sovereignty over nations and an erosion of the moral foundations rooted in biblical truth.
Scripture warns of a time when societies will turn away from sound doctrine, seeking teachings that align with their desires (2 Timothy 4:3-4).
