"Then they secretly induced men to say, 'We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God.' And they stirred up the people...and brought him to the council. They also set up false witnesses...And all who sat in the council, looking steadfastly at him, saw his face as the face of an angel."
Acts 6:10-15
Stephen was not swayed from his message, but kept a sweet spirit in the face of lies about him. Those who reject truth have no problem lying. They made false accusations against the Lord Jesus, and they will do it against Jesus' witnesses. The bold witness can expect to encounter lies and rumors. It is a challenge to keep on track with the message, and not be distracted to rebut the falsehoods.
Today's Thought: The effective witness does not get sidetracked to defend himself against false accusations.
Have a sweet day. Love you.
