Be Ready For Persecution

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jun 25, 2025

When facing persecution, Jesus' disciples (believers) must have endurance and wisdom, be certain to look like Jesus, preach the Word fearlessly, and trust that God is in control. What have we to fear when our life is in His hands?
