Courage and Obedience Required


Choices

Our lives are full of choices that need to be made.
People will say or do something that will 
push you into battle or retreat.
Daily as Christians we will make these choices,
and it will affect our walk with the Lord.

Ephesians 6:12
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers,
against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present
darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. (ESV)

Battle isn't always something you can see.
And it will come from places you least expect it.
Make your choice now. Choose to either fight the good fight
or choose to turn and walk away.
Just remember...

Obedience

Matthew 28: 19-20
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in 
the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 
teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. (ESV)

We as Christians are commanded to move!
The command is simple. And it provides so many choices.

What do you do when...
-Someone tells your child that there is no God.
-A friend is confused about what the Bible is saying.
-Someone asks who Jesus is and what He did for us.
-Someone is trash talking your Savior on social media.
-Someone threatens you with harm if you are not quiet.

The list is really never ending.
That is why Choices and Obedience go hand in hand.

A day is coming, a day of reckoning. A day when light
will shine on all things. Everything will be judged.
Will your activities prove you Obedient?
Will the Choices you made prove that you moved?

We cannot afford any longer to be silent.
We can no longer choose our battles.
For those who can see, the battle is against us!
It has already started!
Is it knocking you down?
Or
Are you fighting back?

We are equipped. Fully armored!


Ready? Set? MOVE!

Matthew 28:20
And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age." (ESV)
