Fighting for Truth and Winning

Bereans:

This week I'm sharing some good news of Christians who have taken a stand against the spirit of antichrist and won (1 John 2:18)! We should take courage and be emboldened by their witness, just as the account of Stephen, the first martyr should encourage us.  In both examples, the opposition was fierce, and the opponents were determined to intimidate them into silence because of their stand for righteousness (Matthew 5:11-12).  I'm thankful that the Lord has given each of these women the opportunity to state their case before a watching world that needs to hear the truth proclaimed without apology.

May we all be ready to make a defense of the hope that lies within us, yet with gentleness and reverence (1 Peter 3:15).

Grace and peace to you,
