We are flying through turbulent times as Christians. Sometimes we wonder if we can endure it. With his help, we can. Do not lose heart!
These days, our job is to steadfastly hold true to Biblical truth while loving our enemies as Jesus called us to do. In places of persecution, both past and present, many of those who hated believers were won over to Christ by our willingness to love them in sincere and practical ways, as they were taking us to prison, even to our deaths at their hands.
May we who bear the name of Christ in the world trust the same God those martyrs of the faith did, and may we not love our own lives in this fallen and dying world so much that we spiritually falter if those lives are threatened.
After all, this world is passing away and our eternal homeland is not far away. Remember that truth always and put your life in the hands of God.
And he told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart. Luke 18:1
