1 peter 4.14 (ms), if you're abused because of CHRIST, count yourself fortunate. it's the SPIRIT of GOD and HIS glory in you that brought you to the notice of others.
if you are harassed or abused because you are a CHRISTian then you should count yourself fortunate but why?
well being harassed means GOD's SPIRIT can be seen in my life. if you're insulted because of CHRIST, you're blessed, because GOD's SPIRIT rests on you.
today, we have too many lady clairol CHRISTians, "only GOD knows for sure." like secret agent CHRISTians. undercover believers. you don't know if they are really believers or not. they may say it and show up at church. they may have churchianity but do they have CHRISTianity? they may have a religion but do they have a relationship?
it's like the people who go around saying, "my witness is my life." be serious! what an egotistical statement! "i'm so much like JESUS i can walk into a room and people will automatically fall down and repent!" even JESUS had to tell them. you may walk around and be real nice and people will just think you're a boy scout! a nice moral person. you've got to tell them. we need audio‑visual CHRISTians who walk the walk and talk the talk. you've got to tell them and you've got to show them.
what if they outlawed CHRISTianity, would there be enough evidence to convict you? if you were put on trial for being a CHRISTian, could they prove it? or would it just be circumstantial evidence?
just a thought from the front porch…
