What To Expect

Christ-followers can always expect opposition when they obey God and do His work. Non Christians and even spiritual forces acting among Christians will work against God and His people. The opposition may not always be obvious, however. It can come in the form of compromising alliances. But usually it will seek to discourage, intimidate or accuse us unjustly. We should expect these tactics so that we are not deterred by them. Never act as if they're a surprise - for your surprise then would be your ignorance.
