“And calling the crowd to him with his disciples, he said to them, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel’s will save it. For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul? For what can a man give in return for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of Man also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.””‭‭Mark‬ ‭8:34-38‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,
This sticks out because Jesus says “whoever is ashamed of Me and My Words”. Christians are getting marginalized as being judgmental. Some Christians are afraid to say anything about the Bible now for fear of being labeled as intolerant. In order to not get “labeled” some would rather “love and not speak the truth” as opposed to “speak the truth IN LOVE”. Please pray that we and our friends seek to know the Bible and speak the Word of God IN LOVE without being ashamed. Please pray for Newt’s group
