God's Faithfulness

"So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall! . . . God is faithful . . . He will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it." (1 Cor. 10:12-13).
Not my faith but God's faithfulness!

By being careful that I do not put my own freedom to do something ahead of another person's convictions. To do so not only hurts them but is also a sin against Christ.

I find their perseverance in the face of inconceivable humiliation and oppression inspiring. (Amie, you would like this).
