Stress Test Devotional May 4

DAY 54
Where are some of the pressure points for Christians in modern American life? They may involve integrity issues at work or at school, since Jesus tells us to “let our yes be yes.” If we obey scripture, we may be labeled as “fanatics” and if we pursue purity as “Puritans.” If we resist the labeling and denigrating of opponents in the name of enemy love, we may be called “naïve.” Traditional views on marriage are seen as outdated or even criminally prejudiced and our emphasis on non-violence as unrealistic.
Read Chapter 5 in the Sermon on the Mount and see where obedience to these commands might create resistance.
FAMILY TIME:
Pray for Christians in Russia and China who speak out for religious and political freedom.
