For the glory of.....!!!!

There are scenes in movies that make the hair on my arm stand up. I feel like standing up and cheering. It's the call to battle against innumerable odds. It happened in the movie 300, Braveheart, and Gladiator to name a few.

These guys are fighting for honor. They are fighting for glory... and there's something that resonates inside me that makes me want to become a warrior.Do you know the feeling that I'm talking about?

It seems like fighting and living for glory and honor have been lost.Where are the people that stand up for their convictions? Where are the ordinary people that step up from the shadows and inspire people to fight this Christian fight? After all, we are not wrestling against flesh and blood, but against principalities and wickedness in high places.

I challenge you to be that person in your local community and in your local church.

Live that disciplined Christian life. Challenge others to press closer to God in relationship. Pray! Study. Know your God... intimately and live in the power that He has given you. Win battles by snatching people who are lost in sin and bring them into the kingdom of the Most High God, by His grace and excellent mercies.

... and let this be your rallying cry:

So whether you eat or drink, or whatever yo do, do it all for the glory of God! (1 Cor 10:31)
