Taking a stand: Living for our Creator

I was just thinking about it, and what is one of the best ways to show what we believe in? It is to show it in our actions. When we are acting around people, we need to show that we are different from the world and not have conformed to it.

Conforming to the world isn't always a bad thing though, but, it also can go against all you believe. Now as humans, there has to be an opening for change. Without change, there can't be anything. Change is what makes us who we are as Christians, and as a nation. We must always admit change to come into what we do. But if we conform to the bad habits and ideas, then thats when things go to the negative.

As Christians, we don't need to conform to bad habit or ideas. Lets say you conformed into smoking. Well, that not only is a bad thing for your health, but it also is falling into peer pressure. And from falling into peer pressure, it can end up in a lot of problems in the future. The example I gave can lead to a LOT of physical problems. If we are going to take a stand, then we need to show we are not like that. If we stand up for whats right, and help friends who are having problems, then we will show that we do live for whats right. Letting God help you with all that you do, is another way to take a stand. Even if times are hard, God always has a plan, and to show you can be strong during the hardest of times, shows that you can be strong.

When we are taking a stand, we always need to remember that we are not doing it for popularity, show, or any other reason for your personal gain. When taking a stand, the reason is to show what you are standing against. You don't need to fall to pressures, and you need to stand strong for what you are standing upon. Never waiver no matter what challenges come up.
