When I stand back and "self-protect," it makes me question my passion ... for Christ and for others. Conversely, if I am "facing my fears" without love, again I question my passion for Christ and for others.Stanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04523232247971115247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30006406.post-74506929641699049212020-03-10T06:29:31.955-07:002020-03-10T06:29:31.955-07:00A very compelling question that all believers have...A very compelling question that all believers have to face is; what are we willing to suffer for the cause of Christ? this question is at the root of all our fears. the reason most do not engage others is because to do so; requires an expectation rejection. Conflict avoidance is not a virtue. when I call attention to another's needs for Christ and Salvation, I have made an immediate declaration of Spiritual Warfare. the lancing action of the bad news causes pain, but the salve of the following Good New, is worth the struggle. <br />we are not of this world. therefore we are not trying to save this world. but rather we are calling out from this perishing place, the people of God, those that believe.
