What Doesn't Kill You...

For some reason, people often have this misconception that once you commit your life to God, everything will be perfect.

Well, let me be perfectly clear… This Christian walk is not easy. There’s hardship and struggle. Pain and persecution.

But, just like iron sharpens iron, and fire perfects gold, so too are we perfected through persecution.

That is why the Bible says that every thing works together for good to those who love God (Romans 8:28). Pain and persecution is good for you.

God bless,
J.W.

“But you have carefully followed my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, perseverance, persecutions, afflictions, which happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra—what persecutions I endured. And out of them all the Lord delivered me. Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.” ~ 2 Timothy 3:10-12

Persecution

No scripture today.

I just wanted to share this article with you all.

It’s about a woman from Egypt who was arrested trying to leave Cairo for Russia, all because she was a Christian.

Let’s not take for granted the incredible opportunity and privilege we have to worship God in freedom.

The crazy part about this story is that even the judge in her case threatens to kill her because of her religious views.

Pray for your brothers and sisters around the world that God might protect them as they live their lives openly for Jesus Christ.

God bless,
J.W.
