Win the Battle With Love


  Win the Battle With Love
by Erwin Lutzer

Hope

Evangelism must be our priority, but our message must be authenticated by changed lives. We must learn to serve as Christ did. We must be models of love and humility in this day of egoism and crass selfishness.

We must be proactive and penetrate the world of television, law, journalism and government. We can expect that the distinction between the world and the church will become more clearly defined as spiritual darkness settles on the land. The days of nominal Christianity are fast coming to a close. Now is the time for firm convictions, a deepened faith and a praying heart.

Yes, we must choose to fight, but let us do it with love, integrity and a witness for the saving grace of Christ. We must never fight fire with fire, acting like the world, when in point of fact we are citizens of another country. Let us make sure that our fighting is done on our knees and with wet eyes. God will give us the wisdom to know how to respond to the challenges we face.

Prayer
O Father, things seem to be changing so rapidly. We need You desperately. You are the only means of transformation for our neighborhoods, cities, states and countries. Help us confidently tap into the strength and resources You have given us through Your Spirit to boldly stand for Jesus, and may we do it selflessly with a heart of love. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
