There Ain't No Shame In My Game

"For I fully expect and hope that I will never be ashamed, but that I will continue to be bold for Christ, as I have been in the past. And I trust that my life will bring honor to Christ, whether I live or die. For to me, living means living for Christ, and dying is even better.: Philippians 1:20-21.

I ♥ social media! Facebook, Twitter, Blogger and everything in between. It is all very intriguing to me for some reason. I actually look forward to finding out what people are up to throughout the day, where they might be going and what they are going to be doing next. Silly, I know, but as a stay at home mom this is the only contact I have with the outside world somedays.

As I was surfing the net the other day I came upon an article about a movie that was due to hit the theatres that upcoming weekend. They were promoting the hound out of this movie and I was already a little disgruntled about the subject matter of it. Then on top of that what the article was declaring infuriated me even more. So much so that I wanted to take it to my social media circle and proclaim my dislike for what I see becoming acceptable standards in the world today. But you know what? I didn't. I didn't because I was afraid I would offend someone or step on someone's toes. I had the perfect opportunity to use the social media to stand up for what I believe in and I didn't seize the moment.

Looking back at that moment now I am so disappointed in my lack of boldness to stand firm in my beliefs and what the Word of God clearly tells us is right and wrong. In my disappointment I remembered a quote I read on Twitter awhile back from one of my most favorite preachers ever, Steven Furtick. This quote is still teaching me a very powerful lesson. "Apparently it's en vogue to "apologize" for being a Christian. It's also pathetic. Never be ashamed to bear His name." I guess I fell into that catergory that day. Pathetic!!!

Standing up for what is right and turning your back on what is wrong is not always the easiest thing to do but it might be the most important thing you will ever do. Who knows? You may be the only light someone may see.

So today I make will make my own declaration & say to the world, "I proclaim HIS name, there ain't no shame in my game!" Will you join me?
