A call to respond to violence not with fear, but with testimony, scripture, and ministry
They wrote to silence.
But we speak to invite.
They threatened a family.
But we proclaim the One who welcomes every family into His arms.
When Benny Johnson and his loved ones were targeted with threats of violence, it was more than a personal attack—it was a reminder of the brokenness of our world. Yet even in the face of hostility, the gospel shines brighter. Scripture tells us that “the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it” (John 1:5).
This is not just about one man’s trial. It is about the invitation God extends to every heart—even those who write in anger and curse with their words. The cross of Christ is proof that no one is beyond redemption.
📜 The Letter That Tried to Curse
The letter spoke death.
But Christ speaks life.
The enemy’s ink was meant to wound, but the blood of Jesus writes a greater story—one of forgiveness, healing, and eternal hope. What was meant for evil can become a testimony of grace.
🕊️ Our Response: Not Fear, But Invitation
We do not answer hate with hate.
We answer hate with hope.
We do not retaliate with threats.
We respond with the gospel.
Every believer is called to be a living letter of Christ (2 Corinthians 3:3). When the world writes curses, we write invitations: Come and see the One who turns mourning into dancing, fear into faith, and enemies into family.
📖 Scripture That Opens the Door
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28
“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” — John 3:16
“Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” — Romans 12:21
🎨 Ministry in the Midst of Fire
This is the hour not only to stand firm, but to extend the hand of Christ.
To turn blogs into open doors.
To turn art into invitations.
To turn testimony into a bridge for the lost.
When the enemy writes, we do not just speak louder—we speak clearer: Jesus saves. Jesus heals. Jesus restores.
