Matthew 5:10

Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.


Greetings Bible Enthusiast!

No one likes to be persecuted. In some countries people lose their jobs, are thrown in jail or even killed for their faith. You may think that this scripture does not apply to you, however. But situations do come up in our daily lives where peer pressure or political pressure keep us from standing up for the gospel or what we know to be true (according to the Bible) on 'hot topics.' Are you silent about the truth?

God Bless You!

--FEATURED FUNNY:

Two men sank into adjacent train seats after a long day in the city.

One asked the other, "Your son go back to college yet?"

"Two days ago."

"Hmm. Mine's a senior this year, so it's almost over. In May, he'll be an engineer."

"What's your boy going to be when he gets out of college?"

"At the rate he's going, I'd say he'll be about thirty."

"No, I mean what's he taking in college?"

"He's taking every penny I make."

"Doesn't he burn the midnight oil enough?"

"He doesn't get in early enough to burn the midnight oil."

"Well, has sending him to college done anything at all?"

"Sure has! It's totally cured his mother of bragging about him!"
