Does It Bother You When Your Friends Smirk or Might Talk About You When You Stand Up for Minorities?

Does It Bother You When Your Friends Smirk or Might Talk About You When You Stand Up for Minorities?

Jesus wants us to stand up against those who talk down or make fun of those of other ethnicity or those who or are less fortunate. When what our friends say or how they look at us bothers us, we are letting them becoming false gods in our lives. We are letting their actions dictate what we do or don't do. Do you really think that Jesus wants us to pay more attention to what our friends or society as a whole thinks of our actions or what He thinks?

1 John 3:13-14 says: Do not marvel, my brethren, if the world hates you. We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother [other people] abides in death.
