"Meeting the like-minded assures people that they are not the only ones who are shut down, put down, scolded and ostracized, even by loved ones, just for believing the truth." Jan Markell
One might ask why we spend so much time on facebook and other media to expose the lies and embrace the truth, its very simple, we strengthen one another as tell the truth to one another.
And, in telling the truth to one another onlookers might see our dedication to our brothers and sisters as something rare and special, there might be something to this "gospel of Christ."
John 13:24-25 "…34 A new commandment I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so also you must love one another. 35 By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you love one another.”
Our love for the truth, for Christ and one another is a strong witness to the world of something far more important than anything this world has to offer.
1 John 2:15-16 "15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not from the Father but from the world.…"
Romans 12:2
"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God."
James 1:27
"Pure and undefiled religion before our God and Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world."
James 4:4
"You adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore, whoever chooses to be a friend of the world renders himself an enemy of God."
