1Pt4

Have you ever "suffered" for being a christian? I have sought to follow Jesus for over 35 years and I can't remember a time that I had to "suffer" because of Christ. There have been times that I was made fun of and times that I just didn't fit in, but I have really never had to suffer.

Christians all over the world are "suffering" for their faith. Many are being beaten, imprisoned and even killed. It is hard to imagine, but true. In fact, more christians are suffering today than even in the first century. Are we praying for them?

God has blessed us. Are we living boldly for Christ even though we don't have to "suffer" because of our faith? We should be.

Live bold today.
