³⁹ But we are not those who draw back and are destroyed, but those who have faith and are saved. (Hebrews 10:39 CSB)

Our direction should be ever forward, ever upward.

We should not draw back from our faith in difficult situations. Not just when tempted, but also in situations where living our faith may put us at odds with others. We must be strong and continue to live the life we were called to.

Social pressure has never been higher than it is today. Because our interaction with others is no longer just judged by our in person meetings but upon the social media stage. Upon this relatively new stage we are judged by every word and picture. We are judged by what others perceive not necessarily only by who we are.

And we have to be careful with these new interactions. Careful that we are treading an even finer line with our words and actions there. Yet, we should not draw back, but should be bold in sharing our faith and our belief even here, we must simply do so by sticking to scripture alone and not our own opinions.
