INDIA’S NEW ANTI-CONVERSION LAWS

Discussed by Don Shenk
with The Tide (www.thetide.org/)

As the world becomes more of a global village, should Christians be able to freely share their faith in Jesus Christ? How can we do this, though, with so many restrictions in countries around the world?

In India, for example, there are over 1.2 billion people who have yet to hear the hope found in Jesus. But more restrictions have just been placed on Christians in India, which will make it nearly impossible to spread the Gospel.

Today, new guest, Don Shenk, discusses the “religious” bill that was recently passed in India and how it will affect their work in the country. Don is the Executive Director for the ministry and has acquired a wealth of international, cross-cultural ministry experience while living in and traveling throughout Africa, Eastern Europe, and India.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

A governor in India recently signed the “Freedom of Religion Bill 2026”? Is the bill’s name a misnomer?

Did the Indian law target Christians, criminalizing converts to Christianity?

Did the Indian law come with other penalties?

The Tide Ministries has been operating in India for over 45 years. How will India’s New Anti-Conversion Law impact missionaries, churches, and other ministries operating in India?

Why should Christ-followers in America care about the growing religious persecution in India?

What is an “untouchable”?

Don closes the segment in prayer for the leaders and lost souls in India and around the world. He also asks for protection for the missionary workers spreading the Gospel in all corners of the globe.

NOTHING CAN SEPARATE US

Discussed by Mark Lanier

QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:

PAUL’S LAMENT (Psalm 44)

What is a lament? NOTE: The Book of Lamentations

Did the Israelites know this particular Psalm? Mark passionately reads the Psalm, explaining what the people were experiencing and why.

Was this Psalm an accusation?

Do you feel like a conqueror? How are we conquerors? Mark discusses the translation and why it matters.

Does the world (Satan) have the power to separate us from the love of Christ?

QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:

BELIEVERS ARE BUILT UP BY THE WORD OF GOD

WHAT IS YOUR EXCUSE FOR NOT READING THE BIBLE ON A REGULAR, DAILY BASIS?

Is it easy to be tempted to come to church on Sunday and then live like the world Monday thru Saturday? Daniel has a great illustration to explain why this is not good for our walk with Christ.

How often should we read the Bible? Is there a right or wrong way to do this?

How can the Word of God help us keep our calm in tough situations? Daniel tells a personal story of a time he really didn’t feel like acting like Jesus…

Is the Word of God the best defense against the world?

PRAYER

Discussed by Terry Lowry

Father God,

You alone are worthy of our praise.

There is no other god in heaven. You, Father, are the creator of all.

Hallelujah! We have been redeemed and you call us by name. May all we do bring you glory and honor.

Father, accept our humble prayer.

Holy Spirit, grow within us.

Lord Jesus, shine through our words and our actions.

Working together, may the harvest be abundant today.

And, if we are granted tomorrow, let’s repeat.

Praying in and through the name of Jesus Christ,

Amen
