When you decide to live radically for Christ there will be people who will be upset, no doubt.
In the Book of Acts, Chapter 16, a story is told of a young girl possessed with an evil spirit. A spirit which evidently helped her to see the future (a psychic of sorts). Older men were taking advantage of this and using her to make themselves very wealthy by marketing her and her painful affliction for gain within the community. So the disciple Paul casts the demon out of her. The reaction of her (let's just call them "pimps" for the sake of the closest modern day comparison) pimps is ugly as you can see:
Act 16:19 And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew [them] into the marketplace unto the rulers,
Act 16:20 And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,
Act 16:21 And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans.
Act 16:22 And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat [them].
Act 16:23 And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast [them] into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:
So they beat the tar out of Paul and Silas for helping the poor girl and jail them. Every good deed won't go unpunished as they say. Have you ever encountered unfair treatment for your faith? I have. Many times. It is not unusual at all. You are swimming upstream in a world that wants to pound you into conformity with it's desires. Never lose heart in doing good. Remember Jesus's words:
Mar 10:29 And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's,
Mar 10:30 But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.
