I admire the stubborn resilience of the Ukrainian people who are staying back not not fleeing, but fighting.
Church, take note of their courage. If we only fought for the kingdom and unity as intensely instead of packing our bags like primadonna priests every time things get hard and head the to the place of worship that will scratch our ears or run to the people who will falsely affirm that which Christ has called to be crucified in Him.
This goes for us pastors too. FIGHT the good fight! Fear God, not man. We’ve forgotten to fight for the kingdom from a place of victory and so many walk around pouting when the devil attacks. WAKE UP and MATURE UP believers.
“Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;”
-1 Peter 1:13 KJV ( perhaps the only time I’ll use this translation).
It’s fight or flight season. Has been for the past two years. Gird em up. ENDURE TILL THE END!
