I just Love the Word of God--what are some of your favorite Bible verses?
I really like this one:
Matthew 13:21, "Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended."
It reminds us that we should not operate out of a spirit of offense because of persecution--the corresponding verse to this that I really like is this:
Psalms 119:165, "Great peace have they which love thy law: and NOTHING shall offend them."
One of the signs of the END TIME is a spirit of offense, Jesus said:
Matthew 24:9-10, "Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall MANY be OFFENDED, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another."
