It is no shame to suffer for being a Christian. Praise God for the privilege of being in Christ's family and being called by
his wonderful name!
—1 Peter 4:16 (TLB)

A great problem over the world is that we have anemic and watered-down Christianity that has produced anemic, watered-down, and spineless Christians who are not willing to stand up and be counted on every issue. We must have virile, dynamic, aggressive Christians who lives Christ seven days a week, who are ready to die, if necessary, for their faith. We need Christians who are ethical, honest, gracious, bold, strong, and devoted followers of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Prayer for the day
I realize how spineless and pampered my Christian walk is. Give me Your courage, Lord Jesus, to follow You more devotedly.
