When was the last time you had to take an unpopular stand?
We sometimes hear high-profile news stories of Christians and Christian companies refusing to compromise on matters of faith or conscience. Some win victories, while others suffer loss.
History brims with examples of people and groups who challenged government, culture, or tradition. Some protested in defiance and anger. They demanded their rights and used violence to champion them. Others stood vocally but respectfully in the face of oppression, prejudice, or injustice.
We’ll probably never take on a king or the Supreme Court, but we will face circumstances that will require us to stand for what we believe. Thankfully, Scripture shows us how to do it.
I’m tackling this subject on the Revive Our Hearts blog. CLICK HERE to read the post, “When It’s Time to Take a Stand.”
May I ask a favor?
If you’ve read my most recent book, Lord, I Believe, would you take a few minutes (less than 5, I promise) and leave a review on Amazon? Book reviews help other thoughtful readers find good books. I’d be SO SO SO grateful. My goal is to reach 50 reviews, and we’re only 11 away. (Thank you Phyllis, Elaine, Kay, Eileen, and Ruth for writing reviews last week!) Your review would bring me one step closer to my goal. Bless you! You’re the BEST1
