It Is No Secret


“Do not be surprised, brethren, if the world hates you.”  1 John 3:13

They are out there.  They were there in the times of Moses, Jesus, and the Apostles.  The faces change, but their message is the same – hate.  They are the ones who will hate us because we are Christians or because we attend church or because we refuse to help them bully innocent people.  When we speak up, they are there to try to stop us by heckling or giving us a not too gentle shove.  They are not above lying about us in hopes of creating more enemies for us or making us look bad in the eyes of others. 

We have our own weapons – love and prayer.  We know we serve the God who is the master of the last minute victory and we take comfort in this.
