Wanna Fight?


What do you fight for, or what are you willing to fight for? There were so many instances of fights between motorists on the roadways that it has its own name; "Road Rage". We have seen a rise in incidents in youth sports, not only with out of control parents, but now with the kids themselves. Why do you think this is?

I believe this is because there has been a climate change when it comes to what is valuable. Value has become completely subjective and based on individual preference alone. Because of this, then what matters to someone else has no relevance to me. We fight for parking spaces, position in lines, and let's not even talk about limited item holiday sales, yikes!

What happened? What should we fight for? We should fight for what matters most: our kids, our marriages, our family time...our faith. And to take it a step further we should be fighting for the institution of parenting, marriage, family, and faith. It is a battlefield on which kids, marriages, families, and lives of faith are being lost. What can you do about it?

"Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses."
1 Timothy 6:12.

Now that sounds like something worth fighting for, and maybe it's time we started fighting the right fight, and stop fighting for what we want to be right about in our life...

...just sayin'

In His grip, 
Pastor Pat
