I walked the streets of Bangkok last week, warning prostitutes of coming judgment – ‘…The Lord will return to judge… Must repent, and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ!’

Out of the blue, an American man confronted me, shouting in my face, ‘What you just did was wrong! You should go back there and apologize to those women! You are a horrible human! You are a horrible human!! …’

He was shouting himself into a frenzy. It seemed inevitable that he would throw a punch. If so, I knew the Lord would be pleased with me for suffering for Him.

I replied, ‘I’m accountable to the Lord Jesus Christ and to Him alone. I am not here to please you. Do you understand that?’

“If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified.” 1 Peter 4:14

Two days after the Lord led me out of Bangkok (i.e. Sodom), the earthquake hit. I didn’t look back, but my wife did (spiritually speaking).

“Remember Lot’s wife. Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it.” Luke 17:32-33

Job lost all he had but remained faithful to the Lord through it all. Job’s wife and self-righteous peers figured Job ‘had a few things to learn.’

In reality, those who judged faithful Job had a few things to learn. The Lord humbled them before his faithful servant Job.

“But let none of you suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as a busybody in other people’s matters.”   1 Peter 4:15

Remaining silent and withholding information is the same as joining them.

“And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.”   Ephesians 5:11

“And He said to them, ‘Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.'” Mark 16:15
