Living in fear of spit

Just a quick post, as I have company arriving in a few minutes. Isn't the title of this post intriguing? It was the message that was preached last night in our special youth service. It was excellent. Jesus, before going to the cross, was stripped naked, beaten, dressed up in mock royal attire, made fun of, and SPIT ON. The humiliation wasn't bad enough. Being spit on is the ultimate rejection. But Jesus stood for truth (Jesus IS truth!!). And today, we are his ambassadors... we are called to stand for truth when it is NOT popular to stand for truth. We are told to be "tolerant", and accept lies and deceipt like homosexuality is genetic, same-sex marriage is okay, and killing babies in the name of "choice" is perfectly acceptable. If you DON'T... if you are INTOLERANT... you will be mocked, made fun of, perhaps beat up, and, yes, SPIT ON. We don't like being spit on. And Satan knows it! So, living in fear of spit, we sit down and shut up! That is exactly what Satan wants! There was much more to the message, but that was the part that hit home with me the most. And I just thought I would pass it on to you all. Bonfire night tonight! Gonna be c-c-c-cold! Around ZERO, with winds of 10mph... so it will feel BELOW zero (hope the fire is hot, hot, hot!). Talk to you all later! Have a great day, and go out and spread the gospel without fearing the spit!!!!
