“Blessed are ye, when [men] shall revile you, and persecute [you], and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great [is] your reward in heaven:” Matthew 5:11-12

It is amazing how this is becoming more of a reality today. Some people scoff at you for saying Jesus is the way to heaven. Let us not forget “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” John 14:6 so we know Jesus is the only way to heaven. Some bauk at godly Christian standards. Like holy music, clean dress, abstinence, faithfulness and integrity. How can people be so hard hearted not to see that doing opposite of these activities are clearly hurting our youth and families around the world. With teenage pregnancy, abortion, rape, pornography, divorces, adultery, suicide and the list goes on and on of things that should not be taking place happening. Many of these things are provoked because of a lack of Biblical standard in the home. It is hard for people to judge right and wrong with out clear Biblical guidelines. The idea that people will even defend this wreck-less style of living is outrageous “Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.” Psalm 55:19

Fortunalty we have a loving God and he uses all bad things for good.“[It is] good for me that I have been afflicted;” Psalm 119:71. God uses affliction to bring us closer to him. Thankfully we “sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.” 1 Thessalonians 4:17. We know that “If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.” 1 Corinthians 15:19 What a joy it is to share with others that Jesus can save them from their sins and hell. They can have relief and be right with God they just need to believe in their heart that he died on a cross to make payment for their sins and ask him to save them. Thankfully ” my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour” Luke 1:47 and yours can too! Each affliction should draw us closer to Jesus and seeing his life lived through and in us. When people mistreat me or I suffer I remember my saviour was treated this way too. “Blessed are ye, when [men] shall revile you, and persecute [you], and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great [is] your reward in heaven:” Matthew 5:11-12″
