It is better to incur the world's hatred by testifying against its wickedness than gain its goodwill by going down the stream with it. -Henry
2 Timothy 3:12, Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
If you are attempting to live for the Lord, He has said you will suffer persecution. You will have people make fun of you when you go to church. You will have people poke fun when you will not drink that glass of wine or beer. You will have them to ridicule you on every level you can imagine. However, at the end of the day when they need someone to pray. When they need someone to reach heaven. When they need a friend to be there for them, you will be that friend. It will be the time for you to stand and give an account to what Jesus has done for you and can do for them!
Persecution is coming, will you stand up, speak up, and be counted for the Lord?
