Me: \u00a0How are you feeling today?<\/p>\n

Prodigal: \u00a0I’m so low you couldn’t put a rug under me.<\/p>\n

Me: \u00a0I have had days like that. \u00a0Maybe I can encourage you.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is from the book The God Who Hung on the Cross by Dois Rosser Jr. and Ellen Vaughn<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We were visiting Ethiopia when I saw an old shed on the property. \u00a0“What’s that?” \u00a0we asked. \u00a0“That’s the persecution house,” \u00a0our host told us. \u00a0“Whenever a family in our church comes under persecution, we bring them here to the shed so we can protect them and take care of them.” \u00a0Some members of his church, facing threats and opposition from local Muslims, had lived in the shed for months at a time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When we stand for the word of God and who Christ is then we may come under persecution. \u00a0During those times a friend, and a place to go where you receive comfort and support helps you along the way to keep standing for God’s truth.<\/p>\n

1 Peter 1:25<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. \u00a0And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
