The Bible teaches that Christians will face many afflictions, or tight spots, but God has promised to deliver them out of every one.

The righteous, who are obedient to God, will find that God leads them into these tight spots, but also makes a way for them to escape and endure. The examples of the Old Testament saints, who suffered great afflictions with patience, demonstrate that God is faithful to bring His children out of their trials. [... more]

This act of defiance against authority is a powerful example of standing up for what is right, even in the face of adversity. [... more]
