Blessed Revile!

Matthew 5: 11

"Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely…”

Have you ever had anyone say anything false against you?

People who speak truth, can expect this to be a common occurrence.

The original meaning of, “revile” in the Greek, actually translates… “to defame”.

Honestly, I’ve had people try to defame me, that I’ve lost count on just how many.

Truthfully, I don’t need anyone to defame my character—I seem to do a pretty good job of that myself.

I actually don’t need help to prove, that sometimes I’m a complete moron.

The church as a whole faces these insults every day.

If you’re not being defamed, it might mean that maybe you’re not standing up for truth.

In every direction I look today, I see morals declining everywhere.

So is that truth, or is that judgment?

There is an all out frontal attack, on the church of Jesus Christ these days.

The forces of evil are powerful and look to enact destruction.

Making our voices heard, always seems to mean, that you’re in for an uphill battle…
