When challenged on my morality and spirituality, I lean on the Word of God, even if there all those who scoff at it.
Hebrews 10:26-31
If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God. Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. How much more severely do you think someone deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified them, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace? For we know him who said, “It is mine to avenge; I will repay," and again, “The Lord will judge his people.” It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
My friend overseas posted this on his Facebook wall and I thought it was fitting. How we over here in the US think of ourselves and our faith (primary Christian), we rarely think of how others deal with their faith and the trials that they must endure. This is something that I have spoken of several times during our Men's Ministry Meetings, I have spent a small amount of time overseas and have several people that I consider to be a friend but of another faith. As with all religions, there are good and there are bad "representatives" of the faith. Don't let the "bad" sway your view of what you believe in.
