A Christian bakery was sued for not baking a cake supporting gay marriage. A photographer was sued for not taking pictures for a gay couple at a marriage. It's borderline ridiculous. Having said that, be of good cheer. Jesus overcame the world (John 16:33). Jesus in the same scripture told us we would have tribulation. He also told us that the world hated Him and would hate us (John 15:18). It is the way the world is. There is no need for us to fret, pout, frown, and get all angry about something that was always going to happen. We need to lean on Jesus and not worry about these things.
I leave you w/ our nightly scripture to ponder:
"18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. 20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. 21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me. 22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin. 23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also. 24 If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. 25 But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause. 26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: 27 And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning." John 15:18-27
