John 15:19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.
One of the things you get to learn pretty quickly is how many people have something bad to say about Christians; and then you have to ask why… aren’t we supposed to be the good guys?
The answer is surprisingly easy to understand when you hear it. When we stand up to being the good guys others will start to hate us because we start to make them look worse just because we look good.
God wants us to stand out as being different for a good reason so stand up and be counted!
