Watch Stand Fast In The Faith

To have a conviction and follow it –Many have conviction –Some do not follow it, compromise –A need described in 1 Cor. 15:58 In all settings (Jude 3) –Easy to see the overt or public stand (Acts 17) –What about the day-to-day? (Phil. 1:27, ASV) Qualified by “in the faith”

Must be brave in order to: –Turn the other cheek (Matt. 5:39). –Tell the truth (Eph. 4:25). –Speak against worldliness (James 4:4). –Correct a loved one (1 Tim. 5:17).
