And who is he who will harm you if you become followers of what is good? But even if you should suffer for righteousness sake, you are blessed. "And do not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled." 
1 Peter 3:13-14

I recall a time when I was in grade school and I rode the bus with older kids (I lived in the country...we all rode together) to school. On several bus rides I talked to one of the older kids about Christ. He was all rough and tough...and didn't want to hear of it...but I still pursued him. My childlike faith defied fear. 

As adults, we often keep the message of Jesus Christ to ourselves. We fear rejection, we fear what others will think...will they call us "Jesus freaks". As we pass through each day trying to live a righteous life, we miss the whole purpose of our attempt to model Christ...salvation. 

I'm reminded of the many stories in the bible of Christians persecuted or put to death for their belief in Christ. Today, millions of Christians live under threat of torture and death for having any association or conversation about Jesus. 

We live in a land of total freedom. God blessed this great nation with freedom. The very ones who founded this country were looking for a land where their expression of faith in Christ could be without hindrance. So many have provided and blessed so you can share the good news of Christ. 

What are you waiting for? The door of freedom is still open America. No matter what others say or do...you, as a follower of Jesus Christ, have been called to spread the word. Share Jesus with someone today and lets restore this country to a Godly nation...no matter the cost. ‎
