Acts 8:1-8
Our society’s primary motive right now is fear.
We just had an election, and the default message from both sides was not “I’m the best person for the job” it was “vote for me, because if my opponent gets in the world will end.” The “us” vs “them” language is embedded in just about everything we hear, and perhaps the worst examples of this come from Christians.
But Acts tells us a different story about how we should handle fear, specifically the fear of persecution. Jesus tells us—and the early church shows us—that when we face persecution, our hardest day can simultaneously be our greatest day.
