JULY 29 - Stand Firm!
"For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? "For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and WILL THEN REPAY EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS
- Matthew 16:26
What would you be willing to give up your faith for?
Hopefully the answer would be nothing. For Christians here in the West
it is not a reality that we are faced with. In reality it is not a
choice that we have to seriously consider as religious freedom means
we get exactly that. For those who work on Gods holy day, the Sabbath, it
is more a requirement than a choice. But as far as our religious
beliefs, we choose.
I was troubled therefore when I came across an article in the
Christian Post where Christians were being denied benefits which would
lift them out of poverty unless they converted to Hinduism. You can
read the article HERE.
The bible clearly warns in 1 Thessalonians 5:3,
'For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction
cometh upon them, as travail upon a women with child; and they shall
not escape.'
Do we, do I take my privilege to worship in peace and safety for
granted? We need to keep these thoughts at the forefront of our mind
and pray for those in the situation we might, sooner than later, find
ourselves. Do it today.
