When will “they” strike next? And where? And how? And whom?

Yes, who will “they” strike next with their terrorism?

Maybe some Iraqis or Israelis. Maybe some Indonesians or Europeans. But surely not me.

Yeah, the possibility that Al-Quaeda or North Korea or Iran will strike me seems remote indeed.

But what about others who might terrorize me, particularly those who might target me for doing good?

“They” may target my reputation or my peace of mind. “They” may target me by targeting my family. “They” may attack my church, my Web sites, or my teaching and writing.

“But and if ye suffer for righteousness’ sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled” (1 Peter 3:14).
