If they persecuted me they will persecute you also.” How quickly we forget! When we stand up for what we believe to be good and right, sometimes people will mischaracterize us. They may even impute all kinds of bad motives to us falsely. Now don’t get me wrong. It is frustrating when we get unfairly painted as heartless, bigoted or uncari...2021-02-1904 min

It means to be sensible, reasonable, aware and responsible in how we live our lives to honor the Lord our God. In chapter 1 verse 13, we read "Therefore, (because you have such a great salvation ahead of you) with minds that are alert and fully SOBER, set your hope on the grace to be brought...2021-02-1804 min

Whenever the world unfairly paints Christians as callously hard-hearted, the best response is for Christians to demonstrate genuine compassion. If we persevere in doing good, faithfully believing in Jesus and eagerly awaiting Christ’s return, sooner or later someone is bound to ask us the reason for the hope we have within us!

That's no easy task! But here's an important payoff! By demonstrating virtue in the face of unfair adversity, we can help demonstrate that Christ’s love truly is living within us. We can show that we don't just love people who are kind or nice to us. We...2021-02-0904 min
