Jeremiah Burroughs, Puritan preacher, considers the persecution of Christians. Some have had to endure rages and tortures of wicked men: this is a passive obdedience. Burroughs encourages those not chosen into an active obedience: considering their sufferings and worshipping God.
Christians today have not always had sympathy for persecuted Christians, such as those from Syria.
How can you give God the glory of your strength?

William Wishart, Church of Scotland minister. He states that there are places where religion motivates cruelty, rage, fury; and acting in “blood and massacre”.
Is this a valid critique of a religion? How would a future historian view your religious movement today? How can you act in kindness, gentleness, patience, and works of mercy today?

@lendot So many people suffer from a terrible affliction. It keeps us from making things better for more people.
The affliction is HOPE.
Hope doesn’t fix anything. Hope allows us to be useless.
Stop hoping and start doing.
