Those of us who are believers are often ridiculed by fellow employees, friends, neighbours, or family members when we talk about Christ. Whenever that happens, we usually respond by hiding our Christianity. However, the book of Acts tells us that the Apostles and the early church didn't mind suffering for Christ. In fact, they actually rejoiced that they were worthy of receiving affliction for Christ's sake!
In How to Handle Persecution. John MacArthur discusses some examples of persecution from the book of Acts, and gives us practical insights on how to respond to persecution. We also see the benefits of persecution, which will help us to appreciate the opportunities that we have to suffer for Christ. Learn how to respond to persecution in a godly way from the example set by the Apostles and the early church!
