Good Words for Today: November 28

“Don’t let the world around you squeeze you into its own mold” (Romans 12:2 Phillips). G. K. Chesterton remarked that a dead thing goes with the flow, but only a living thing can go against it. The world constantly pushes us to “go with the flow.” These days too many Christians seem eager to oblige. But it is a mark of living faith that you actively “swim upstream” by going against the current because you refuse to give in to the call of the world. This world is passing away. Don’t be swept away with it. Keep swimming upstream with Jesus.
