I was watching the Avenger's today. After Loki stabs in the back, Agent Phil Coulson looks at him and says, "You're going to lose." His reasoning is given in his next statement, "Because you lack conviction."
I think that some Christians are more concerned with maintaining the status quo or being comfortable or safe or concerned with how well they do in this world.
They lack conviction... or they're afraid. You cannot win that way.
“Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?" (Isaiah 43:18-19).
"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go" (Joshua 1:9).
"You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God" (James 4:4).
"Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it" (1 Cor 9:24).
"I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus" (Phil 3:14).
It is time to we get some conviction and remember that God is serious about what He says... and He is not mocked. We will reap what we sow.
