Just me trying to be honest with God.

“The Glory of God, and, as our only means of glorifying Him, the salvation of human souls, is the real business of life. C.S. Lewis

“For not all have faith.” 2Thess3.2 ESV

This word may state the obvious but it implies a great deal. The world is full of wicked people who oppose any influence that stands in the way of selfish pursuits. Often they will seek to harm, by all possible means available, those who promote anything that would. Be warned and wary of them but never without compassion. We should remember that we also walked in darkness before the light of Christ.
The Lord is faithful. He will establish and guard His own against the wicked but do so, even as He sends us among them as messengers of light. God sent His own dear Son as a missionary and into harms way. He is surely willing to put us in harms way for the same cause if it is necessary. Jesus said if they persecuted Him they would certainly persecute us. But is it not the blessing of the persecuted to see the very salvation of those that are persecuting them? 10/18/2008 ts
