What if God doesn’t have something great in store for your life?
The way of Jesus is not the American dream. Life will be easier if you don’t follow Jesus—because you can look out for your own interests if you don’t follow Him. You can protect yourself from pain. You can spend all of your might and energy on success. You can rise higher, attain growth, and achieve your destiny—but not with Jesus.
Defending Our Own Rights - During Christmastime?
The Christmas story is that God gave up His rights for our sake. But is the world actually hearing/seeing the Christmas message from the church in America? People will know Christ by the way we give up our rights for the sake of others - even though it will cost us.
"The Resistance" by Josh Garrels
It may cost us everything, but following Jesus is the only path to joy and freedom. So hold fast!
