If we enjoy the favor of the Lord, it is certain that we will be out of favor with those who hate Him. He has plainly warned, “If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you” (John 15:19). It is useless to suppose that, by acting prudently and circumspectly, we can avoid this. “All that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution” (2 Timothy 3:12). It is only by unfaithfulness, by hiding our light under a bushel, by compromising the Truth, by attempting to serve two masters, that we can escape “the reproach of Christ” (Hebrews 11:26).

More and more this becoming apparent, as people who HOLD FAST to the Scriptures are ridiculed by professing Christians who do not.

I am not sure what you can do about this and how much control you have over ads, but some of the ads that come up just below some articles (it appears just the ‘quote’ articles only have this ad problem actually) are not very good, e.g the one below this quote is promoting a dating site with a photo of a girl showing a lot of skin.
