"I always thank my God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus. For in him you have been enriched in every way—with all kinds of speech and with all knowledge — God thus confirming our testimony about Christ among you." -- 1 Corinthians 1:4-6

I cannot imagine trying to do this faith thing alone.  I'm not sure it's even possible, as the primary way to experience God's love is through each other.  Paul certainly knew what it was like to be in the minority as a Jesus follower, and today, we face that possiblity as the culture becomes more and more secular.  We have been a spoiled people for a long time in terms of the acceptance of our faith in our cultures (with some exceptions of course).  The days will be challenging ahead.  Stay true to the Truth, and find others to stay true with.  We need each other on this journey.  Give thanks for the people of faith in your life today.  Hang on to them!

Readings:  2 Chronicles 35:1-36:23; 1 Corinthians 1:1-17; Psalm 27:1-6; Proverbs 20:20-21
