Perseverance!

The calling of the Believer?

Suffering is now a dirty word in the Ekklesia now, because people have rights and equality and they believe that they cannot be pushed around by others, so they just sometimes have to put up with some things!

So perseverance has no meaning for many western Christians, but with all that said and done the other 90% of the world have to live with it everyday and many cannot even declare their faith or be killed for it, in other religions and in atheistic lands that refuse to tolerate anything but their own paganism?

Without suffering we cannot be tested by God to our loyalty to Him and without perseverance we cannot grow, many in the west are dry, cold, or over happy clapping, but they are lukewarm and dead!

Jude 1:17-23, Romans 9:8, Philippians 3:3, Colossians 2:7.
