Jeremiah Burroughs, Puritan preacher, considers the persecution of Christians. Some have had to endure rages and tortures of wicked men: this is a passive obdedience. Burroughs encourages those not chosen into an active obedience: considering their sufferings and worshipping God.

Christians today have not always had sympathy for persecuted Christians, such as those from Syria.

How can you give God the glory of your strength?
