Facing Adversity

By Ryan, May 28, 2007

Anyone who has endured a day of high school knows for a fact that it is no small task to serve the Lord in every part of our lives. Although persecution is not as extreme at Frisco High School as it was in Rome, it certainly doesn’t help. One question often comes up in my mind: “How do I deal with people who don’t agree with what I believe?”

Remember those bracelets that said “W.W.J.D.?” and were impossible to wear comfortably but were still in fashion somehow? I think I had one that was a teal-ish color. The bracelet itself was pretty stupid in retrospect. But the question of what Jesus would do is one of the greatest ever, and it helps with dealing with non-believers. What did Jesus do in Luke 4:28-30?

When they heard this, the people in the synagogue were furious. Jumping up, they mobbed him and took him to the edge of the hill where the city was built. They intended to push him over the cliff, but he slipped away through the crowd and left them.

DISCLAIMER:
When I called the WWJD bracelets stupid, I meant the bracelet part of the idea, not the WWJD part.
There, now I can’t be sued.

Hi, I happened upon your blog and thought you have some very interesting perspective and thoughts here ony your blog. Whilst I do not agree with many of them, I do like the way you articulate your thoughts and beliefs, and your sensible attitudes to dealing with people who are less than respectful when discussing beliefs.

Maybe I'll come back and read more =)

 Kristin P:

It's helped with my life alot!
