Devotion (ODB, Sun 13 Nov) - Be Who You Are

SCRIPTURE - 1 Pe 3:8-17
"13 Who will harm you if you follow what is good? 14 If you suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are you; be not afraid or troubled by their terror. 15 Sanctify the Lord God in your hearts; be ready always to give an answer to every man that asks you the reason for your hope." - 1Pe 3:13-15

OBSERVATION
It's better to suffer for the cause of Christ, than to let the cause of Christ suffer.
We should stand up for our faith in an increasingly secular and pluralistic society. If we are criticised or marginalised, we should respond with gentleness and respect.

APPLICATION
On secular platforms, where appropriate, I should testify of what God has done.

PRAYER
Give me courage to do so.
