bring the pain

Christians now, tend to be a little less than the Davids, Pauls, and Johns of days past. We shy away from any part of standing out that may lead to humiliation, embarrassment, or dare I say it, pride in our faith. Who ever imagined Christians wanting to live a life, fearless, for Christ. That's just crazy.
Everyday, in every possible way, Christians seek to shine His light in foreign countries everywhere. They sit in prison cells, telling their inmates about Christ and His death on the cross. And they, the ones who accept the pain of belief, are the ones who see the Spirit move. We must stand and shout! "Satan, I will stand for God forever and ever, so bring the pain!"
We must bring the fight. We must stand and say we believe! If it's true and we know, then we should stand unashamed of our God. Christians have someone worth dying for, a message worth the cost of death, and we need to share it. We need to tell the world, no matter who cares or what they think. All we should focus on should be the uncompromised love of Christ on the cross. We should be willing to bear the pain of belief, if He was willing to bear the pain of sin.
