Advice & Help for Christians on Having Courage
Can The Bible help on being courageous?
“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 rarely 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 doesn’t 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 conscience.
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 subtle but deadly escalation of internet violence and x rated content that affect and traps the minds of the young – enslaving them for ever more gory and violent video games. Make them dissatisfied 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 via the Internet – things that were once only available to the truly ‘debauched’ are now freely available 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 ‘innocuous’ programming, video games and relentless barrage 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!
