Be the change you want to see in the world. Actions speak louder than words. People cannot argue with actions, they speak for themselves. Actions also leave out the element of judgement that many people percieve.

PRAYER & NEVER GIVE UP~~Perseverance & Faith, trust also in God's timing. Our troubles are an indication that we are taking a stand for Christ in a perverse world.............( 2 Thessalonians 1: 5-10) NIV~ All this is evidence that God's judgement is right, and as a result you will be counted worthy of the Kingdom of God, for which you are suffering. God is just: He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you and give relief to you who are troubled. This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with His powerful angels. He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the majesty of His power on the day He comes to be Glorified in His Holy people and to be marveled at among all those who have believed........According to the Grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ......<>< <><

Well you must remember that opposition is like trees in the wind. It serves to make us stronger, and it is meant to be fought against and not to be gone with or broken with.
And the trick is to work at keeping ourselves in high spirits throughout our ordeals which stretches our borders. You see Eternity is an awful long time to stay in a good mood and God doesn't want His Heaven turned into a living hell so we are to work hard at looking at the bright side in every situation. Take care and may God bless you.

Are you willing to be homeless?
Are you willing to let go all of
your material possessions?
Are you willing to go hungry and thirsty?
Are you willing to run around in rags!
Are you willing to be despised?
Are you willing to be brutally treated?
Tell me, after all these oppositions
will you still put forth the Good News?
Or will you claim that by the
works of your hands in direct
disobedience to Jesus' teachings,
God has blessed you!
I ask you now,
WHICH GOD BLESSED YOU?

Jesus said if anyone treats you like he wont listen wipe the dust of your shoes and depart from that place. Otherwise don't throw yours pearls before swine because they will only attack you.

Christians have been doing that for nearly 2000 years.
It is always in face of opposition, but we persevere.
If opposition bothered us, we would not be in this group.
We put up with inane questions every day.
You say in your heart, "hahaha, I got them this time"; but not hardly.
