Today’s Thought “Re-Routing onto Spiritual Boulevard” G. Ward

Philippians 1

²⁹ For to you it has been granted for Christ’s sake, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer on His behalf, ³⁰ experiencing the same conflict which you saw in me, and now hear to be in me.

Historically, believers were opposed by factions insistent on pervading their gods as sufficient for any - through persuasive measures, but the Christians couldn’t be convinced although these false purveyors of religious jargon were more popular. Therefore, those days witnessed great persecution against believers.

The many gods of this era are with perpetrators’ permeation more relative to theorizing efforts that DEMAND we, as believers, not merely tolerate their ideologies, but receive their ever-evolving tactics through an unsanctioned blending of values, and if we won’t – troubles will ensue. Instead, we know our LORD convinces (*Ps.119:42) those HE chose before making the world and to that end – we shall not be moved; even if it costs us severely so (Matt.16:24).
