“Those people are surprised now that you do not do the same wrong things
they do. And they say wrong things about you.” 1 Peter 4:4
Let’s face it, none of us wants to be disliked. I didn’t huge slices of
my time to theater productions in high school hoping people would boo me
onstage. I didn’t join my first Kiwanis club hoping the people in town would
call me names. The same is for all of us, isn’t it? Perhaps you are part of a
hunting club, or a group who plays dominoes once a month, or the Yearbook club
at school. We never join with the thought, “And I’m sure this will make me
hated by my friends.”
