How do Christians stand firm in light of the name-calling and censorship we now face? This 1-minute devotion offers 4 important safeguards.
"Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed. If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you." 1 Peter 4:12-14

2. Never be ashamed of God's Word.

We are "not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes" (Romans 1:16).

3. Refuse to compromise.

"We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." 2 Corinthians 10:5

4. Remember the blessings.

"Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you." Matthew 5:11-12

Stand firm and rejoice!

    1. I think it is safe to say that any persecution we suffer is encouraged by the devil, whether it comes through a person or group or some other circumstance.
