Courage

  • Hero vs an ordinary man (Psa 27:1)
  • Actions vs thoughts (1 Chron 28:20)
  • Planned vs spontaneous (1 Pet 3:13-14)
  • Staking our claim vs wandering (meandering) (Josh 1:3-9)
  • Moses and the promised land vs the Giants and the 12 spies
  • Co-operation vs conviction (Deut 31:6)
  • Sense of morality vs neutrality
  • Not of the world but in the world vs judge not lest you be judged
  • That’s our dilemma. Whose morals are we going to follow? Are we going to let our thrill-oriented, sensuality-based culture dictate what’s “normal”? Are we going to treat women as disposable objects or as precious daughters of God?
  • If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.” (John 15:19)
  • Questioning vs commitment (Isa 41:10)
  • Mastery of fear vs the absence of fear (1Cor 16:13)
