I did my Bible Study last night with our small church group and got some great feedback that helped me think about this in a more broadly applicable, and maybe less confrontational framework. We live in a world of constant choices. And face it, the guilds in Thyatira existed before Christians entered the picture. The Church drifted away from its first priority. 
We still have to make those choices. We live in the world but not of the world as one of the brothers in my group put it so succinctly. So with the feedback I got from the group and specifically from one of the brothers that I can only describe as my religious coach and mentor, I've produced this podcast regarding persecution in America. This takes a different look at how it happens and how we, as Christians, need to respond. 
The sequence of podcasts on this subject include the following other two recent podcasts (should you want to go back and listen to the entire thing). 

1. Why No Christian Persecution In American
2. Sliding into Sodom
3. This one: The Spiritual Dialectic

I did not include notes in this podcast because the material is addressed personally to members of my Bible Study group. I may revise and depersonalize it later on.
