Today's Thought

 Today's Thought:

But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled, but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame. A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, and favor is better than silver or gold. If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. Keep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable, so that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation. (1Pet 3:14-16; Pro 22:1; 1Pet 4:14, 2:12)
