How great is our God!
The world needs to see a people who are convinced about who they serve and why. We as the members of Christ's body should be the most convincing of any on the face of the earth! We serve the only Man who claimed to be God, then proved it by dying for our offenses against Him and returning from the grave as witnessed by over one hundred eye witnesses and returned to the Creator to make our case of forgiveness for us! Wow!
Why is it that we many times shrink back when we are handed an open door to share about what he has done in our lives? Why is it that we fear the wrath or even embarrassment of peers more than we anticipate the joy we would bring our Saviour if we would stand for Him with no shame or hesitation?
I'll start with this reason, it is because we are not true disciples of Jesus Christ. We don't immerse ourselves in His Word, in His presence, in His doctrine. Instead we immerse ourselves into the trends of our culture and then wonder why we don't have the answers to share or the boldness to stand when those awkward moments arise.
It's time to S.T.A.N.D.! We are the Church of Jesus Christ! It's not about standing "against" anyone. It's about standing on behalf of the souls who do not yet believe. It's about being so convinced of our personal faith in Jesus Christ that those around us, those looking for answers, will stop and take notice. And as they do we gently turn them to face the cross and introduce them to their resurrected Lord! But it won't happen until we S.T.A.N.D. as disciples and immerse ourselves in Him. It is worth it, He is worth it, the world is waiting. What will you do?
Join us as we embark on a journey of equipping, a trek that will challenge us and empower us to S.T.A.N.D.!
