Many have an ignorant view of what it takes to be a Christian. Some, out of their ignorance, mock it and mock those who strive to live the life. Many think of the Christian walk as horrible, restricting and boring with no drama or "life." Out of ignorance (and sometimes even out of arrogance), they shun the Christian walk...
I came across these quotes as I was reading one of my favourite books called "Help in Daily Living" and it sums up perfectly the life of a Christian.
Take a moment to read it and hopefully, if you are one of those unbelievers or sceptics mentioned above, you'll have a different view of what it truly means to be a Christian.
"The Christian life is more than many take it to be. It does not consist wholly in gentleness, patience, meekness, and kindliness. These graces are essential; but there is need also of courage, force, energy, and perseverance. The path that Christ marks out is a narrow, self - denying path. To enter that path and press on through difficulties and discouragements requires men who are more than weaklings." (P.41.1)
"There is in true Christian character an indomitableness (invincibleness) that cannot be molded or subdued by adverse circumstances. We must have moral backbone, an integrity that cannot be flattered, bribed, or terrified." (P.42.2)
Christianity is NOT for cowards.
Christianity is for the Courageous.
