Growing in Christ

Expect to Be Persecuted

The Bible never commands or exhorts Christians to pray for persecution. But the Bible very definitely tells the growing Christian to expect persecution. 1 Peter 4:12 emphatically states that “we are not to be surprised” when persecution comes, or think that “some strange thing” is happening to us when we are persecuted as Christians.

Although persecution of the believer is to be expected and is “according to the will of God” (v19), let us remember that this is a family matter. We are the “beloved” children of a “faithful Creator” Who always has our best interests in view. The Christian who understands God’s reasons for allowing persecution not only expects to be persecuted but is willing to suffer persecution. (read more)

Obedience:  Evidence of a Strong Foundation

by Alistair Begg

Like weathering a storm in a house without a foundation, facing eternity without obeying Jesus’ commands is foolish and dangerous. Countering this kind of superficial Christianity, Alistair Begg points out that saying the right religious words, being highly gifted, or even performing miracles won’t win us entrance into the kingdom of heaven. Instead, our lives must bear the fruit of Christ’s lordship.  (listen to audio)

How Does Philippians 2:3-4 Instruct Us to Have Harmonious Relationships?
