Persecuted Not Forsaken for those uncounted #Masses of the #Faith of #JesusChrist is one fact of life today. No matter how hostile, the #FaithofJesus persists. As the #ApostlePaul correctly attests to the fact of the power within all believers in #ChristJesus sustains these #believers. Perplexed? Maybe, but not in despair as Paul points out. Persecuted for sure but never forsaken; a lesson that the #modernchurch in #America needs to learn. Finally, many may be #castdown or even #murdered for faith, but will never be destroyed. For to live is #Christ and to Die is gain. Lift those knees which sag, the back that is bowed; and look up for your #redemption draws near. We may find ourselves #Persecuted but #NotForsaken!
