“You - The Extremist”
Blessings Folk!!
Since our last time together it has become official.
Most of us who read this are now officially “classified” as “extremists” (what a ridiculous word).
The federal government has officially declared that if one opposes abortion then close scrutiny is required.
You are dangerous.
Read if for yourself…

As has been warned previously...we are to expect these types of things to occur...to increase.
Jesus told us so.
John 15:18-25
18 "If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you.
19 "If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you.
20 "Remember the word that I said to you, 'A slave is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they kept My word, they will keep yours also.
21 "But all these things they will do to you for My name's sake, because they do not know the One who sent Me.
22 "If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin.
23 "He who hates Me hates My Father also.
24 "If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would not have sin; but now they have both seen and hated Me and My Father as well.
25 "But they have done this to fulfill the word that is written in their Law, 'THEY HATED ME WITHOUT A CAUSE.'
NASU
Jesus warned that the world would hate us as it hated Him.
How do we handle this?
I believe that two important points are presented in the verses before and after the above…
John 15:17
17 "This I command you, that you love one another.
NASU
We are to love one another. The Body of Christ must function in love.
John 15:26-27
26 "When the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, that is the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify about Me,
27 and you will testify also, because you have been with Me from the beginning.
NASU
The Lord has sent the Helper - the Holy Spirit.
We, as true believers, are empowered by the Most High God. The Holy Spirit reigns within us. Thereby, we love one another and we stand firm in the love of the Lord as the world attacks.
Any other way will fail.
In what do you trust?
In what strength do you stand?
