Your life isn't guaranteed to be easy because you follow God. You'll have hope for eternity and joy from God that nothing can take away, but as Pastor Bill's going to show you today, that doesn't mean persecution and trials aren't going to come your way. Satan wants to do everything he can to make you deny your faith, but it's all only a test of your faith. You won't go through anything that God can't get you through. Your standing with God means more than anything people say or can do to you.
