We're not to be cynical.
Because Jesus is Lord and Master.
So no one, no church, dare I tread here, no denomination is beyond his grace.
He can work in a moment.
and snatch from darkness and bring them into the light.
Someone that is on this path of destruction with their teaching or what they've embraced in a moment can go from there to end Christ for eternity.
No one is beyond His grace.
So we contend without being cynical.
Finally, we contend completely
What we contend for is truth that safeguards the sheep of Christ and ultimately gives glory to Christ.
And so we contend with all that we are.
But don't throw the towel in on this one.
Paul's language where he speaks about that he is happy to be poured out as a drink offering for the sake of the people he serves often goes through my mind as a pastor.
It's the most menial of sacrifices.
And he's happy for his life to be poured out for them, to be expended for them.
Because they're worth it.
