We won’t be worshipping in our hearts… (Heb.10:26-27) The ends don’t justify the means! Everybody else is doing it! This is not a good time… (Heb. 13:5)

Didn’t know if God would deliver (3:17-18) God does not always deliver from persecution (Heb. 11:36- 38; Matt. 5:11-12; 1 Thess. 3:3-4) Faith looks beyond present (2 Cor. 4:16-18) We must also stand firm! (Eph. 6:11-13; 2 Thess. 2:15; 1 Cor. 16:13)

Do you trust God? Are you standing for Him?
