Suffering is Sovereign - Phillipians 1:27-30

"Hey come and suffer for my name" is not exactly the best strategy for building a church. Yet, this is exactly what the church of Christ is built on. Paul encourages us to be united in our hearts as we will suffer for the gospel of Christ. You should not be fearful in the face of adversity either, that is where we must be united and working together so we don't become fearful to the point of inaction.
