As followers of the Lord and in these unsettling times, faithfulness to the ways of God will require sacrifice and courage. Making the right choice may not be the easy choice. Important issues require engagement and involvement rather than indifference. On occasion we may have to separate ourselves from the crowd and risk being rejected, ridiculed, and falsely labeled just for doing what is right. There will be times when we may have to pay a price for bringing our faith into our communities, workplaces and even families. There will be times when conscience dictates that we stand strong as we reject whatever is contrary to the truth. It is precisely at these times that we must ask the Lord for his help to never compromise who we are, and what we believe, so we always remain God’s servant first.
