Have any of you champions out there faced opposition? Opposition is a contrary view, an opposing idea or thought. Opposition surfaces when the champion is making headway or taking territory. The Word says in Matthew 5: 11-12, "Blessed are you when men cast insults at you and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely on account of Me. Rejoice, and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you."
The Bible also reminds us in Matthew 6: 1, "You are the salt of the earth." You women of God out there are the champions of flavor and truth! So what if a little persecution comes our way? We are just salting the earth and bring in the light of Christ!
Today why don't you click on the comment button at the end of this post and share with all of us an experience in which a situation of opposition in your life brought forth the "saltiness" within and revealed the light of Christ to others!

Thanks for your insights, Pastor Sharon.
Still making the choice for life every day in ways large and small.
Recipe of Champions
May we be like those who mix the word with faith (and patience). Not a cake undone – but a completed work in Christ. Recipients of a FULL inheritance. No half-baked Christians here!
Hebrews 4:1-3a
1 THEREFORE, WHILE the promise of entering His rest still holds and is offered [today], let us be afraid [to distrust it], lest any of you should think he has come too late and has come short of [reaching] it.
2 For indeed we have had the glad tidings [Gospel of God] proclaimed to us just as truly as they [the Israelites of old did when the good news of deliverance from bondage came to them]; but the message they heard did not benefit them, because it was not mixed with faith (with the leaning of the entire personality on God in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness) by those who heard it; neither were they united in faith with the ones [Joshua and Caleb] who heard (did believe).
3a For we who have believed (adhered to and trusted in and relied on God) do enter that rest.
