Being a Christian is not a passive activity. It is said that sin flourishes if good people do nothing. We need to resist the devil and deliberately oppose all that is wrong by doing good in the face of this evil. We should not be people who quietly sit in the pews., listening and agreeing. Life is a battle, let us go out and be active.
No longer are we a Christian country. It is in my lifetime that this has come about. When I was a child nearly everyone went to Sunday School; this is no longer the case. I wonder how much guilt we should feel for this state of affairs. The Bible tells us we are in a battle, we need to be properly kitted out and prepared. May we all be challenged to speak to one unbeliever this week about our faith. It is no good saying we are too shy or inarticulate. The Holy Spirit is by our side, He will give us the words. So every time we speak to someone, we can ask ourselves if this is the holy conversation we are meant to be having this week? Is this the person God wants us to share His Good News with?
