Acts 7:60 Then he fell on his knees and cried out, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” When he had said this, he fell asleep.
I’m not saying we should all allow ourselves to be stoned to death – far from it – Christ has called us to be effective witnesses to Him.
But when we are berated, shouted at, called names, or whatever, we should stand firm in God’s Word, stand firm in showing others the love of Christ in the face of all that is going wrong in our lives!
Be different. Be the change. Be more like Stephen!
