Do you stand up for what you believe?

Do you stand up for what you believe?

It is hard to be a Christian in today’s culture. We are made out to be simple minded oafs on television. Or backwards in our thinking. So it is sometimes easier to be quiet and go with the flow. Is that what God would want us to do? Or do you think He desires us to stand up and be His mouth-piece?

At work for example, when they start telling those off color jokes, do you laugh and join in or do you turn around and leave? When everyone is telling the lady who is struggling in her marriage she should divorce that sorry so’n’so, do you agree or do you encourage her to seek God and His desire?

I work in a very worldly environment. I would even call most of them false converts. I have given each of them tracts (million dollar bills, pink and blue illusions, and/or the zero dollar bill). I’ve shared the Gospel with one lady, the one struggling in her marriage. I’ve talked in detail with another about God’s Law (the 10 commandments). There is one believer I work with who I have prayed for and with many times.

I know I am by no means doing all I can for the Kingdom of God, but are you?
