As I read Matthew 5 this morning, I have to ask this question. I feel that when we are not persecuted (and I mean more than ridiculed), we can lose sight of what being a Christian is all about. To me, we lose sense of the rest of the Beatitudes. In a world where we are the majority, we lose sense of being poor in spirit or meek. Sometimes it can be so bad that we can lose our sense of mercy in all things.
Persecution has existed for millennia. But why did we stop becoming the persecuted (which refines our faith) and pick up the sword of the persecutor?

hmmm.. very interesting thoughts. But I think we also have to remember that percussion without purpose can only break one down. It has to be for Him and Him alone that we go through anything in our lives. just my thoughts.
