Courage
Advice & Help for Christians on Courage
Can The Bible help?
."There is no doubt that if you're going to be a Christian
in todays world you will need courage - super human courage from
God. Yes it's true that in the days of old Christians were thrown
to lions and burned at the steak - deaths of which we cannot even
contemplate in the brave 'civilised' society.
No
- Satan (who most in the west, because we rarley experience open
unmasked evil, believe does not exist) has to be far more subtle
in today's world - open persecution though still happening in
some parts of the world, at least in the western world would be
seen as entirely politically incorrect by even the hardest anti-Christians.
One
thing Satan doesnt want to do is upset the status quo - if the
public wanted Christians eaten by Lions in the old days - but
now the public simply want Christians and Christian morals and
principals silently and quietly got rid of without any gore or
bloodshed on their concience. No, it needs to be done in a humane
way. Slowly but surely remove Christianity by stealth. First in
homes, then in schools and we will at last be free from the stifling
and controlling God of the Bible!
Begin
a sublte but deadly escalation of internet violence and x rated
content that affect and traps the minds of theyoung - enslaving
them for ever more gory and violent video games. Make them disatisfied
with their girlfriends and wives with a constant bombardment of
'acceptable' soft porn and glamour in the papers and films. Make
every kind of abominable thing available viai the Internet - thigs
that were once only available to the truely 'devbauched' are now
freely avaiable to one and all.
A
Christian in todays world will need an entirely different kind
of courage than the ones of old - where hardship and persecution
was forced on people by authorities and people in power. It is
now forced on people in far more covert ways by the media and
other backdoor means by many people and companies who have no
concept of the long term damage to society and young people -
and affecting all people eventually - that their 'inocuous' programming,
video games and relentless barage of shallow media content that
devalue human life, meaning and love are having.
If
you are enslaved to anything and a Christian - do not fear - Jesus
was tempted and tested in every way we are. He is here to help.
Don't loose courage or the will to be a Christian. Simply carry
on and confess your sins - even if you find yourself enslaved
again and again - that is the nature of the battle. All you have
to do is be courageous and not give up fighting and victory perhaps
in this life - certainly in the next will be yours!
