The time is now to stand up in faith.
To our nation’s Christian first responders and their families who have courageously answered the call to serve, sacrifice, and protect our communities: You are daily pouring yourselves out for others, but are you hitting the mark as disciples of our Almighty Commander in Chief, Jesus Christ?
If your mission, purpose, identity, and priorities are misplaced then your lives will result in turmoil, distress, and devastation. You don’t need better leaders, politicians, training, equipment, or working conditions, you need life-changing surrender and discipleship.
“I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”
– Galatians 2:20
Why now?
The urgency is now as our world falls deeper into sin. You are positioned front and center amidst the spiritual warfare and among the lost in your families, departments, and communities. With a strong foundation in Christ and a real understanding of your true calling, this could be your greatest hour to have an impact on the Kingdom of God.
“To each there comes in their lifetime a special moment when they are figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a very special thing, unique to them and fitted to their talents. What a tragedy if that moment finds them unprepared or unqualified for that which could have been their finest hour.”
– Windston Churchill
“Give me one hundred men who fear nothing but sin and desire nothing but God, and I care not whether they be clergyman or laymen, they alone will shake the gates of Hell and set up the kingdom of Heaven upon the earth.”
– John Wesley
“Now is the time, above all else, to live our lives with purpose for the Gospel of Christ. Now is the time to stand firm, side by side and unified, fearlessly contending for the faith. Our unwavering trust in Christ, and willingness to suffer for His sake, is evidence to the watching world. We are in this spiritual battle together. We must answer the call to fight for the faith and reach our fellow first responders for Christ.” (Inspired by Philippians 1:27-30)
