Our generation has assaulted the value of human life at every turn.

So how do we push back against these godless attacks?

Well, the moral battles raging around us won't be won through public debate alone.

Today, on Insight for Living, Chuck Swindall contends it starts with men and women who are determined to stand as stalwarts of the Christian faith, armed with timeless biblical wisdom and unwavering conviction.

Peter warned us that the enemy prowls around with deadly intent. The hour is urgent. The stakes are

eternal. And in Chuck's words, it's a time for strong resolve.

Courage is just another word for inner strength.

Courage is the determination to hang in there, to persevere, endure hardship, fear,

and all manner of difficulty.

The fact is, it's impossible to live victoriously for Jesus Christ without courage. We cannot honor God

in a godless culture without courage. The real test of courage isn't so much for those fighting

on the battlefield or for witnessing in the midst of opposition, or even facing down a burglar

in our homes, real courage demands a strong resolve that goes much deeper than all of that

and is much more demanding. Be assured that in some way your resolve will be tested today

and every day. Your test of courage may not be as exciting as a beachhead landing or sailing around

Cape Horn or making a spacewalk.

Instead, it may be as simple as saying no to an improper invitation.

It may be as uneventful as facing a pile of laundry with a positive attitude.

It may be a private or unknown struggle within yourself between right and wrong.

Remember, God's Medal of Honor winners are made in secret

because our most courageous acts occur down deep inside.

Away from the view of the general public. That takes courage.
