Making Strategic Sacrifices
Knowing God desires to utilize our lives for his purposes, we must be eager to make whatever strategic sacrifices needed to live out and hold out his unchanging truth.

Obedience to Christ often comes down to whose reputation you care about the most. When God calls us to stand up for what is right, speak up for what is important, or be counted with his children the price will usually be debited from our reputation. On the other hand…
We must take sin seriously, longing to please our Redeemer and fearing his discipline as we focus on our mission, doing nothing to detract from its effectiveness.
When we encounter slander and opposition for standing up for Christ, we should redouble our resolve to please God by being faithful to our call to evangelize without compromise.
Christians should identify and close down the gaps between their reputation and who they really are!
