I have been reading and hearing a lot lately about the effect physical suffering at the hands of others has on the spread of the gospel, i.e certain people beat on other people, the people beat on do nothing and as a result the beater becomes saved. I have to admit my first reaction to these stories is that, "I would never let anyone do that to me, I would definately defend myself!" I am begining to wonder if I have the right attitude.
How much abuse should we allow from other people? Should we be pacifists for the sake of the gospel? Should we allow ourselves and our family to become the objects of abuse in the hopes that the abuser will become saved? Is this really a way God uses to bring people to the truth?
Any thoughts?
