Perhaps it came in the form of a snide comment from a colleague, or maybe it was a direct

Have you ever faced discrimination or even persecution as a follower of Jesus Christ?

Well in these awkward moments, we can take refuge in comforting promises of the Bible.

Today, on Insight for Living, Chuck Swindall continues his study in the book of Second Peter.

We'll be looking at the third chapter where we find instruction on how to respond when

we face opposition.
