The Scout Motto, The Christian Motto

The Scout motto is BE PREPARED. A Scout prepares for whatever comes his way be learning all he can. He keeps himself strong, healthy, and ready to meet the challenges of life.

The Christian Mottow is the same:

¹⁴But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. "Do not fear what they fear; do not be frightened." ¹⁵But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, ¹⁶keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander (1 Peter 3:14-16)

1. How does fear interfere with our responding properly to persecution?

2. What fears dominate non-Christians who suffer unjustly?

3. What does it mean for Christ to be Lord to you?

4. Why would people ask you for a reason for the hope you have?

5. How should you not answer?

6. Why would people slander your good behavior?
