Fair-Weather Christianity

We have all hear the saying, “When things get tough, the tough get going”. That should describe every child of God. When the problem comes when there is pressure—and things get tough—when doing right means standing up and speaking out against error—where are fair-weather Christians? Nowhere to be found. We have the word of God the greatest message ever told, the most powerful gospel, all supported by the Creator and our Lord Jesus Christ. We have all that pertains unto life and godliness, every spiritual answer to every spiritual question. When questions are asked what must we do? Run? God forbid it. We are commanded to “…sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear” (1 Pet. 3:15). When we are asked to participate in some “ungodly” activity what must we do? Go along with our peers? God forbid it. We stand for righteousness and say no! We need to stand firm during the storm and trust that the Lord will be with us and see us through.
