If you’re a Christian, your beliefs are incompatible with the system of the world. They’re like oil and water – they don’t mix. Jesus made it clear, “If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you” (Jn.15:19). Rejection will be part of the outspoken Christian’s life – there’s just no way around it. Watch Pastor Luke’s message about a young rejected woman named Leah, to learn why being despised is reason to rejoice!
