Making a Stand

Refusing to give up is a hard thing to do. Giving up is always easier than not. We live in a culture and society where there are not many who will not give up anymore. Granted, most don't say that they give up. Most of the time we word it as, "The support for _________ is dwindling. Etc,...." But, when we give up then we are willing to accept the status quo. I cannot accept the status quo.
The status quo says that there are enough people coming to Christ without any more effort. The status quo says that there are enough people out there, already, who are feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, housing the homeless, and caring for others. The status quo says that the message of God's dream is out there enough. This is as good as it gets, says the status quo. I refuse to believe that.
Refusing to give up means that no matter what, we will find a way to keep going. We will not give in. We will not be defeated. Where we don't see a way, God will make a way for His Word and His dream for the world to be proclaimed. We have to be willing to stand on that. The real question is: Are we willing to stand? Are we willing to adjust, shake, jump, sit, dive, run, walk, or lie face down to do whatever it takes to let others know God's dream for the world and for them? Will you be the one who "refuses to give up on God's dream for the world" or will you be one who says, "what we have now is good enough"?
