Calling young men to courage. Stubbornness. Tenacity. Backbone. Grit.
We are now the bad guys. The world is hostile to Christ. This is unavoidable. Be prepared. Are you ready to stand with Christ?
In every age the people outside the church find some of Christ’s teachings offensive. They hate it and those who confess it. They are not always the same truths. What is offensive changes over time. The world changes but Christ remains the same. One day the world is offended by A and a few decades later they are offended by B. Somewhere in the future they will be offended by C.
Many Christians simply change with the times. They adapt to survive in the current mood of their society. They are willing to change their faith to whatever the majority around them approves. They think the same as unbelievers and call it Christian. This is like those that remove all the butterfat from milk and still call it milk. We have a skim Christianity. They are not Christians anymore, but they still use the name.
Christ has asked us to take a stand on the whole will of God. Whatever outsiders hate the most we must speak clearly on. To keep quiet is cowardice.
