2 Timothy 3:12

Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.

Personal Challenge...

I have always understood that if I try to live a godly life in an ungodly world there will be persecution. As the saying goes, "Been there, done that!". If we, ungodly mankind, persecuted and crucified Christ won't the same be done to His followers? What I don't get, what I don't understand, is why do those who try to live godly lives for the King get persecuted within the church? Is it that the church has become too much like the World? Is it that there is competition in the church? This is so hard to comprehend and so painful to endure. And yet, we are told that if we desire to live godly in Christ Jesus we will be persecuted. So be it, more of an opportunity to lean on Him.
