Philippians 1:20 - According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.TRUTH: Really and truly this world is a bully that has always picks on Christ, the Church, and Christians.We all must realize that we will never be liked, we will always be mocked and even at times persecuted for our faith.That is why we all need to have the right 'expectation' and hope.So, I pray that Christians will return to great boldness and stop being afraid to live for Christ.If we stay afraid or ashamed, we embolden sinners of this world to sin. They will have no shame as long as the Church sits in silence. We all must understand that our quietness empowers the world to speak louder.Christians, if you've lost your boldness and you are afraid then that needs to change.If your Church has lost it boldness and it is ashamed to stand with Christ then that needs to change.Christ was never ashamed or afraid and neither should we.
