I especially appreciate your emphasis on prayer and for the reminder of the John 15 passage.<BR/><BR/>I think it's important for us to remember that hatred for Christians (assuming we haven't done something hateful) is really hatred for Christ. But I don't believe He wants us to take up the sword to defend Him any more than He wanted Peter and co. to do it in Gethsemane. <BR/><BR/>Pray, yes, definitely. And speak the truth in love.<BR/><BR/>BeckyRebecca LuElla Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06823550402103559922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8353599589970987461.post-74938350805940798652008-12-31T18:01:00.000-08:002008-12-31T18:01:00.000-08:00Awesome post, Karen, and so true.

Knowing God's Word helps me to show Christ, which speaks louder than defensive or angry words. It's not easy to be a Christian today and at times, it's discouraging and painful. I'm so glad God is bigger than all of it and sees it all too. He is our justification.Dineen A.

One of the goals I'm reaching for in 2009 is to start every day not only in devotion and communication with Him, but also truly STUDYING His word every morning, not just reading and praying for wisdom, but actively seeking out His guidance in revelation of His word.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06507129192655971640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8353599589970987461.post-30810214729872312352008-12-30T13:40:00.000-08:002008-12-30T13:40:00.000-08:00Great post, Karen.
