Writing about History

Writing Prompt of the Day: Today's feast day is the Martyrs of Chalcedon. They were a group of 49 Christians killed under the Emperor Diocletian in 394. Explain some situations when you need courage as a Christian in today's world. 

Example: I am trying to be a good Christian in the modern world. One way that I can be courageous is by being honest and truthful to my non-Christian friends. When they ask me about my Faith I can explain to them my beliefs and values. Second, I can pray before I eat in public. Even though it might feel embarrassing, it is a heroic action to pray in public. Third, another way to be a brave Christian in today's society is to pray at abortion clinics for an end to unjust killing of human children. Today's society is not outwardly brutal to Christians, but it still takes a great deal of strength to be a faithful follower of the Good Shepherd.
