How to Develop Conviction in the Christian Life

If all truth really is God’s truth, then we must not live fragmented lives leading to Christian schizophrenia. We cannot mindlessly absorb the hidden worldviews of our culture and still expect to have the courage and conviction to fulfill our mission as the people of God.

God has already defined reality; it is our job to respond thoughtfully and engage it appropriately. Many have bought into the lie that you need to keep your Christian faith to yourself. Christianity is deeply personal but certainly not private (Previously we discussed why we need to have conversations based on reality and not religion). We have the exciting opportunity and challenge to greet each new day thinking Christianly.

“Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.” – Romans 12:1-2
