I regularly read "Sharper Iron" as a means of staying current with what is going on in fundamentalism. I enjoy the exchange of ideas that takes place on that blog/forum, but I particularly appreciate postings that challenge me to be more Christlike. Today's piece was one of the latter. The majority of the article focuses on challenges to modern Christians, and acknowledges that the challenges will tend to increase in the near future. Nothing new there. However, Jeff Brown does not leave us bemoaning how bad things are getting, nor does he imply that we can overcome (or even survive) the world through our own means. Instead, he points us to our God--our source of comfort and our only hope. Jeff's solution in the article is good for not only surviving the world, which was his point, but in my opinion is also how we will overcome the world.
I recommend reading his article. I know that I will do so again several times.

My thanks go to Jeff (who I am sure will never read this blog), but more importantly, they go to the Spirit Who prompts individuals to write and say things that will edify other members of the Body.
