LEARNING TO STAND ALONE (Acts 6:3-15; 7:51-60)
LEARNING TO STAND ALONE (Acts 6:3-15; 7:51-60)
I want to talk to you today about “Learning to Stand Alone.” I thank God for the power that we have when we stand together. Someone has said that “One will chase a thousand; ten will chase ten thousand.” Thank God for the power that we have to stand together as brothers and sisters in Christ. But you know, the time may come when you are all by yourself, when you don’t have your brothers and sisters in Christ around about you. And you are going to have to learn how to stand alone.
There is coming a time when you are going to have to be one against the crowd, and you are going to be all by yourself against great odds. One of most common situations for Christians today where this is true, is when we send our kids off to college. If your child is a follower of Christ, then they are going to have to stand alone, even at our religious universities and seminaries. They will have in their college classes, atheistic, agnostic, cynics, for professors. They may be the only Christian in that class, and they are going to have to stand up for the Lord Jesus.
Another common area is on your job, where you are forced to deal with DEI mandates from your employer, and training on how to interact with people who believe that being a Christian, and having Christian morals, is an offence that you can be fired for. But, you will have to stand up for the Lord Jesus.
The point is that there are times when we are going to have to stand alone, because we are twice-born people in a world of once-born people, and we are going to find ourselves going against the tide. And as we get closer to the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, we are going to find that the opposition is sharpening, and the hostility is emerging more vicious, and more furious than ever, and we will have to stand alone. The Bible says that we are to stand against that evil. It says to “take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.” (Ephesians 6:13) Our job, our duty, and our privilege is to stand for Christ.
Click on the link below to hear a message on the secret to standing for Christ. If you have to stand alone, then stand alone, and let the Holy Spirit of God give you wisdom to speak for Christ. Let him give you power to stand for Christ. Let him give you faith to suffer for Christ.
