Are your beliefs being REJECTED? (prayer, Jesus, prophets, faith)

[zthatzmanz28]

Seems as if today one is more likely to have their beliefs and claim to faith REJECTED and RIDICULED more regularly and in PUBLIC venues more more and more.


David Hayward describes it this way--

If I choose to be me, think my thoughts, and live my life, but not according to the standards they require, desire, or expect, then there are going to be consequences. Why? Because sometimes this makes them feel uncomfortable.

Are You Feeling Rejected?


Sometimes thinking outside the box is another way of leaving draconian ideas behind.

The OT prophets, Jesus, and the apostles were all outside the box. Most of them paid for it with their lives, and even those who did not were still persecuted for going against the norm.

No one worthy of praise from God goes untried

You're suggesting that I think more outside the box than I already do?

Key word "sometimes" it also leads to "sometimes" focusing only on what a person wants, even if of no value or worse damaging.

Sometimes focusing on what a person wants (isn't that what prayer is all about?) reveals the true destination.
