If You Want To Be A Wimp, Don’t Stir Up Trouble

Just read the book of John and you’d see that Jesus stirred up trouble almost everywhere he went! Most people do not look for ways to stir up trouble – I think that sometimes you need to. Here’s why.

Let’s say you’re with a group of friends and they start to pass around marijuana. The “go with the flow” response would be to just quietly follow suit and smoke the pot so that you don’t create a rift. But stir up trouble! Go against the flow! Or let’s say you’re entering a business agreement with a buddy and he wants to cut a few corners (that break a couple unnoticeable tax laws) in order to maximize profits. The “go with the flow” response would be to just say, “sure” so that the business relationship continues strong, no one would notice anyhow. But don’t be a wimp – stir up some trouble by going against the flow.

If I speak loudly, everyone in the area will notice my voice. If I live loudly, everyone in the area will notice my life. And if you notice the life of a passionate and genuine Christian, you will find Jesus. That’s how you sweat your evangelism.

Go live loudly — go stir up some trouble.
