Christian and His Enemies

About this episode

The episode discusses how to respond to spiteful treatment through a story of a young Christian soldier's actions.

How do you respond when you are treated spitefully? Years ago, a young Christian soldier prayed by his bedside every night despite jeers, taunts and insults of the other soldiers in his barracks. One night after a long exhausting hike, the other soldiers threw their muddy boots at the believer as he knelt in prayer. When they awoke in the morning they found that he had cleaned and polished their boots and lined them up next to each man's bed. How can we learn to glorify the Lord in the way we respond to our enemies. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/791/29?v=20251111
