persecution
one wonders why christians today get off so easily. is it because unchristian americans are so much better than unchristian romans, or is our light so dim that the tormentor can't see it? what are the things we do that are worth persecuting?
i'm not selling out.
i'm not backing down on my standards.
i'm not going to be politically correct.
i'm not going to sell out on my doctrine.
i'm not going to appease people.
for do i now persuade men, or God? or do i seek to please men? for if i yet pleased men, i should not be called a servant of Christ. Gal. 1:10, KJV
