Persecution

/ All around the world...
I couldn't help noticing, as I read through the articles being prepared for the May Briefing, the challenge presented in one of the daily Bible readings. If you haven’t read the Bible today, why not do this reading now?
Reading 13—2 Timothy 3:10-17
1. What does Paul say about being a Christian and suffering?
2. Why does this suffering arise out of a Christian’s desire to “live a godly life in Christ Jesus”?
3. What does Paul encourage Timothy, and us, to continue to do?
Ponder: Reflect on ways that Christians are persecuted in your own country.
