It is not easy being a Christian It's not supposed to be



Acts 17
In Thessalonica
1 When they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue.
2 As his custom was, Paul went into the synagogue, and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures,
 3 explaining and proving that the Christ had to suffer and rise from the dead. “This Jesus I am proclaiming to you is the Christ,” he said.
4 Some of the Jews were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, as did a large number of God‑fearing Greeks and not a few prominent women.
5 But the Jews were jealous; so they rounded up some bad characters from the marketplace, formed a mob and started a riot in the city. They rushed to Jason's house in search of Paul and Silas in order to bring them out to the crowd.
6 But when they did not find them, they dragged
Jason and some other brothers before the city officials, shouting: “These men who have caused trouble all over the world have now come here,
7 and Jason has welcomed them into his house. They are all defying Caesar's decrees, saying that there is another king, one called Jesus.”
 8When they heard this, the crowd and the city officials were thrown into turmoil.
 9Then they made Jason and the others post bond and let them go

It has never been easy to be a Christian, but it is always the winning side in any argument. Many times you will be alone and much maligned when putting forth the teachings of Christ, but remember he is there and you are not really alone. Doing right is always harder than doing evil , but it is much easier than we tend to make it. First pray and ask for God's help, stay true to the word , use the bible as a weapon . Quote the scripture and allow them to argue with God's words , you know they will lose. There is no greater deed that you can do than put forth the message of the Lord.
