Willing To Stand Alone

It’s hard to stand alone against popular opinion. We feel pressure to compromise, and it’s easy at such times to lose perspective on what’s important to cling to and what isn’t. Sometimes we realize we were wrong about something, sometimes we still believe we’re right but it isn’t worth fighting for, and sometimes we stand firm on what we know is true and worth fighting for. But knowing the difference can be difficult.

As a Christian, you need to be stubborn about the things God says are right. Always stand firm on essentials. Focus on the main thing, the truths that are most important and worth fighting for. Be single-minded about pursuing Christ, His Kingdom, and the things that are important to Him, and be persistent. Sometimes we have to stand alone for a long time. But be willing to compromise on nonessentials. Let go of what isn’t important and be comfortable admitting when you’re wrong. Your convictions combined with your humility may even attract others to your viewpoint, and you won’t be standing alone for long.

His Promises

I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.

Remember, it is sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it.

Don’t team up with those who are unbelievers. How can righteousness be a partner with wickedness? How can light live with darkness?
