When life is hard we must purposefully seek the Lord, knowing he is responsive to our pain and that he will give us the hope and courage that we need.

While many will vehemently resist the biblical gospel, we must see through their biases and double down on the authenticated message God has commissioned us to share persuasively.

Future Stability, Present Action (Hebrews 12:28-29) | Pastor Doug Atterbury

We must strategically employ the powerful evangelistic tool of our personal testimony as a supplement to our sharing of the gospel facts.

The genuine marker of a child of God is diligently laboring, even at great personal cost, to be peacemakers in every sphere of life.

Just as Paul was brought before earthly tribunals to be examined, we need to be sure by faith we avoid God’s tribunal and prepare to stand to give an account before Christ’s tribunal.

While we will always have opposition as Christians in this world, we must never fear but only trust God and proceed with wisdom, as we continue to live our lives for him.

We should give thanks for all of God’s kind provisions as we patiently and uncompromisingly stand up for Christ in our increasingly hostile culture.

We must respond to anti-Christian accusations against us with a respectful, positive, and well-reasoned defense, doing all we can to represent Christ in a dignified manner.
