SCRIPTURE: Proverbs 28
-How would you feel if you had a friend who wanted to keep your friendship a secret? Are you treating your relationship with God in that manner?
-Without courage you are forfeiting your relationship with God.
-Arm yourself with a courageous mind.
-Some people talk about Jesus as if everyone will love him and that the world will embrace him…Remember they crucified him.
-Some people are crucifying Christ with their denial everyday.
-People are treating God like the friend that they are ashamed to bring around in public everyday.
-If you are truly living a Christian life, yes there will be times that uncomfortable situations will arise.
SCRIPTURE: 1 Peter 4
-Some people will be cool with you…as long as you don’t bring up God.
-The world is so backwards that they won’t have a problem with you cussing but they will have an issue with the fact that you are talking about God.
-It’s a sad thing when you know evil is evil but still won’t stand up for God.
SCRIPTURE: Matthew 10
-Know who is really in charge, don’t fear man.
-Everyone is not ignorant of what is right and wrong they just might not have the courage to do the right thing.
-If no one knows that you love God or not then that is a bad thing.
-Stop letting fear hold you back.
-It’s somewhat comical how people who aren’t even christian will try to tell you what Christians can and cannot do.
-Too many people are trying to distance themselves from God instead of trying to draw closer to him.
-When you give your life over to Christ you may find that certain people that you used to be close to will start to distance themselves from you.
-In case you were unsure yes YOU are responsible for telling your friends about Jesus.
-Stop being comfortable in sinful situations. It’s time for you to start speaking the truth!
-Peace with God doesn’t necessarily mean peace with God.
-You will end up compromising on Christ attempting to appease people.
-Stop trying to hold on to evil, let it go!
-Don’t compromise your relationship with Christ trying to satisfy someone who doesn’t love God.
SCRIPTURE: Hebrews 10
