The Problem with Being Ugly
When we gaze into the mirror, we might like what we see. Sure, there are a few wrinkles, some faint love handles, maybe a blemish here or there. But over-all, we’re not unattractive people, are we? On this edition of Focal Point, Mike Fabarez holds up the mirror of Scripture to give us an honest reflection of our spiritual appearance. And it’s not a pretty picture! The bad news is that sin has marred our image. But Colossians, Chapter 1, provides some good news.True courage is rare. And when we see it, we may question our own spiritual resolve when we are confronted or censored. The early church thrived not despite opposition, but through it and Christians today are facing increased attacks to their faith that may cost them something in their lives.
Learn how the courageous stories of men and women of faith can bolster your confidence to stand up when you face opposition.
