Hatred or Love?

It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not. (André Gide, French author)

Option 1: You’ve been standing up for civility, truth, and moderation all of your life, but today’s Woke society mocks and belittles you because of your ideas that are no longer as popular as they once were. Option 2: You’ve suddenly received acclaim for perceptions of you that are not true, praise for something you didn’t and wouldn’t do. Which option would you prefer?

It is no shame to suffer for being a Christian. Praise God for the privilege of being called by his name! (1 Peter 4:16)

Then God will give to each one whatever praise is due. (1 Corinthians 4:5)
