About Persecution, worth reading
There are promises in the word of God that don't seem much like promises to some folks. For instance, this one: "Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution." That means all whose purpose of heart it is to live godly lives in this present world shall (certainly) suffer persecution, as did their Lord. Maybe we contemplate such verses and think they should say something different: perhaps something like, "And all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall be appreciated for their goodness and rewarded with approval, good health and fortune." There is Paul's statement to the Philippians that declares, "For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake." Perhaps we would be more comfortable if that were to read, "For unto you it is given...not only to believe on him, but also to be blessed with health, wealth and prosperity." But it doesn't say that; it says what it says.

When Al Gore first published his tome, "Earth in the Balance" in 1990, few people, if any, believed in global warming. It was a trendy cause; after all, who wouldn't want to help save the planet – especially if America is the problem. It isn't that I don't believe that the planet was getting warmer, starting around the middle of the 1970s. That was after the cooling trend that began in the 1940s that followed the warming trend that caused the 1930s to record some of the warmest years on record – even to this day. (There is some advantage to be had from being on this Earth as long as I have, after all.)
