Guarding Our Eyes from the Junk Food: Pt. 3
Way #3 to guard your eyes from the junk food of life.
BE COURAGEOUS-Acts 4:13, "Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated, common men, they were astonished. And they recognized that they had been with Jesus."
Peter and John were uneducated common men, yet everyone was astonished by their boldness, by their courage.
The end of the verse is the part that I love, "they recognized that they had been with Jesus." Courage doesn't come from some deep inner strength that certain people possess naturally, courage comes from "being with Jesus."
If we really want to guard our eyes, if we really want to be people of courage, if we really want to stand up against the sin our culture would say is acceptable, right, or permissable then we need to do one simple thing...
BE WITH JESUS!
Spending time with Jesus is where true courage comes from. Courage to challenge the status quo, courage to go against the flow, courage to go.
