The Hills Worth Dying On.
There are some hills that are worth dying on no matter what anyone in your congregation might think.
There are plenty, but let me give you just three to consider …
1. Truth.
You must be willing to die on the hill of God’s truth found in Scripture. You must stand in your pulpit, in your meetings and everywhere else you go with the confidence that the Bible is God’s truth for today and always. Sadly, many people in the church will die on the altar of tradition, rather than be willing to die for truth. Pastors, let’s be committed to God’s Truth!
2. Morality.
Jesus was very clear that we are to be the salt and light of the world. We must be the moral conscience of our regions, nation and world. Biblically, we have no alternative. We have to engage our culture. Remember, when we do, there are times that our faith will collide with the culture.
3. The Great Commission.
The Great Commission should drive every Christian and church. For a church to advance toward the future in terms of health and growth, the church needs to be emblazoned by the Great Commission. There is not one person in the church who ought to be more fired up and passionate about sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with every person in the world, and making disciples of all the nations, than the Pastor.
