A WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT IN TROUBLING TIMES:
Do not worry when your 'rights' are violated. There is coming a time when every slandered believer will be justified, and every faithful servant approved and rewarded. Paul in 1 Corinthians chapter 4 states "when persecuted we endure, when cursed we bless, when slandered we speak kindly" Vengeance is the Lords, not ours. 1 Peter chapter 2 tells us "When Christ was slandered and insulted he did not retaliate, when he suffered he made no threats, (he didn't take people to court) instead he entrusted God who judges justly" If we are to share in the resurrection we must also share in the suffering, consider it joy as it is confirmation you belong to God when you suffer for righteousness sake.
