I was reminded recently of the great price that many have paid for our Faith. As Christian men we need these reminders so that we keep the important things of our faith as being what should drive us. There have been many, right from the founding of our faith who have perished because of the Truth.
Stephen one of the first deacons was killed for preaching the Truth about Jesus
The Apostle Paul who used to be named Saul and was involved in the death of Stephen, later died for his intense spreading the the gospel and planting of Churches.
Peter, the Apostle who denied Jesus just before he died, later died for his strong teaching and preaching of the Truth about Jesus
There are so many more have since died for our beliefs but of course Jesus died for us first. Without His death and resurrection our faith would not even be.
We as followers of Jesus, need to stand for what is True and right. Teachings like "God Exists", "The Bible is True", "The Trinity", "Jesus is God", "Sin is real and people are sinful and doomed on their own", "Salvation is by Grace through the completed work of Jesus", "Christianity is about Jesus Transforming us to live for Him" and a whole lot more.
So I want to challenge us as HIT Men to lead this charge. We will NOT allow Atheism to become "ok" with Christianity. We will NOT allow liberalism to creep into the Church and weaken
Scripture. WE will NOT stand by and do nothing while this world goes to hell without knowing about the hope that is found in Jesus.
Let us not forget the great price that was paid ... now let us go forth and enter the battle!
