What if every Christian wrote to the companies and schools that mistreat our brothers and sisters?
Christians, don’t sit on the couch feeling isolated and powerless when you hear stories on the news about someone who was punished in some way at work or school for talking about God.
Christians, would our voice be heard if we all spoke as one? Would we be listened to then? At the least, we would be harder to ignore, and we would also benefit from feeling the friendship of others who were willing to stand with us.

What if all of us wrote an email free of hate or made a call without aggression in our tone that still showed we meant business? How would we feel as that young boy in school or woman at work who soon found that thousands upon thousands of people were standing with them?
What a simple and yet wonderful thought, Paul! We live in a pretty negative world. The problem is we tend to focus more on all that is wrong becoming disheartened and pessimistic in our approach. Jesus has cautioned us about the last days saying, "Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold" (Matthew 24:12). But then again this does not have to mean people's malice and spite should make them inept of love. After all, united we stand and divided we fall. As long as we remain together and support our brothers and sisters nobody dare mess with us.
Unity is strength, no doubts about that. I just wish our community comes together more often. In these times, we do not even see people standing for each other anymore. If we, Christian, join together, not only we would be stronger, we would be even more knowledgeable than ever.
Great blog. Highly thought-provoking. Let us all join hands and make our voices heard. Let us make a difference without being aggressive or being rude to others.
Thanks Paul, for sharing this. This exactly the problem of Christianity, there's no unity and that's why our sisters and brothers are mistreated every day. 1st Corinthians 1 vs 10 says, Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no division among you...
Until this scripture is fulfilled, our brothers and sisters we keep experience brutality.
