Ruffle some feathers

INTRO

As Christians are we scared to speak out?  Are there times where someone says something about Christianity and we try and merge into the background, not wanting to comment for fear of judgment or ridicule?  Are there times we avoid those conversations altogether, steering the conversation away from anything challenging? Here’s my response to myself when I challenged my own thoughts…

RUFFLE SOME FEATHERS

Don’t conform

Born into this world not to fit in but to ruffle feathers

Not born simply to indulge in earthly pleasures

Born to fulfil a plan

Born of man but a citizen of heaven

Stand firm in your faith

Avoid temptation to trade fundamental truths for approval

Renewal of the mind is liberating

Negotiating life’s potholes not a problem when moving in the right direction

Swimming against the tide

It’s better to abide in God’s truth alone than stand with a crowd who will never know him

I have absolutely no desire to fit

I refuse to let the world corrupt me

God didn’t make me different to be indifferent

He didn’t give me freedom so that I would join those beaten down by the need to conform

Harmony with the enemy not’s going to become part of my story

I will never influence the world by trying to be like it

I will never effect change if I remain silent

I won’t be compliant or anxious to match my opinions to earthly dominions

I am a Christian, proud of the Gospel, Stand with me in truth for the fight is colossal.
