We have a real problem with entitlement in our culture. Everyone thinks that they’re owed more than they’re getting, and we’re preoccupied with figuring out who to blame for any hardship we experience. As Pastor Bill will challenge us in today’s message, suffering is a big part of our calling as believers. Paul and Silas had the opportunity to run free from the prison but chose to stay for the sake of the guard, their oppressor. Likewise, we may find ourselves called to stay for the sake of those we call enemies.
