*Please pray for us tonight as we minister the hope of Christ in the jail ministry this evening.

Continue Faithful

"...but with the help of our God we dared to tell you his gospel in spite of strong opposition."
(I. Thessalonians 2:2)

Many times through life when we experience resistance or opposition we tend to back off or even quit. Many a Christians overseas are facing continual opposition on a daily basis that refuse to let up, back down, or throw their hands up in frustration. They continue to be loyal and faithful to their king.

Paul and his colleagues in ministry found this same opposition when preaching the gospel to the church of the Thessalonians but did he back off? We have been taught in our thinking that Jesus caused no problems and always brought peace everywhere he went. Just loving Jesus not wanting to stir anything up. That isn't true at all. As a matter of fact it was the opposition of the gospel he preached that put Him on the cross!

So I encourage you today...Yes you will at times experience resistance when preaching the gospel but be faithful! Remember, it is God you are trying to please...not man. Preach on!
