Explanation: I think it takes courage to be a christian in current times for several reasons. For example, the situation with the LGBTQ community. As Christians, being gay is not right because the Bible created man to be with female. However, Christians are also called to love everyone even if we disagree. This can make being christian hard because your beliefs and tolerance are put to the test. And you do not want to seem hypocritical or rude. Being a Christian is hard on modern times because popular views may oppose your own and you do no want to be seen as rude by disagreeing.
