But the courage of faith coupled with the commitment to act on that faith sometimes leaves you in the unenviable position of being alone.
Inevitably, one day, it will become necessary for you, as well as me, to take a position of faith that will perhaps alienate us from so-called friends and family; just as Jesus was alienated from the hierarchy of the church of His day.
These people, who are our faith examples, lived lives “set apart.”
Without the absolute conviction of the inherent power of faith, we will never get a chance to experience the Hand of God at work in our own lives.
The truth is we so easily sound like it’s a forgone conclusion regarding our faith, when in actuality we shy away from the courage it takes to stand alone and stand for God in this world.
