“It is a lonely road, but it is the only road. If you want to have eternal life, if you want to be pleasing to Jesus, you are not allowed to compromise. You must listen to Jesus, get your wisdom from Him. Pray, ask Him. He will guide you.”
– Jan Boshoff from (vid) Do Not Compromise…

When real Christianity, revival happens, it won’t be so lonely:
Self pity is the lonely road with a persecution complex. Some kind of morbid , it’s just Jesus and me, and all those others are backsliden hypocrites. So childish and pathetic.
David,
It’s not self-pity or a persecution complex. It’s what happens to real Christians who really do follow Christ and stand up for what’s right no matter what — during a time when almost all “Christians” today do not obey Christ — and some even persecute those who do, like you are doing to this man here.
Most “Christians” aren’t Christlike enough to be hated and shunned, like Jesus said would happen to those who really follow him:
“You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake, but he who endures to the end will be saved” (Mt. 10:22).
Most “Christians” today do not follow the narrow way.
“How narrow is the gate, and restricted is the way that leads to life! Few are those who find it” (Mt. 7:14).
You should check your own heart. Why do you persecute a man who tells the truth?
