Life is easier when we go with the flow. Christians, however, are called to resist the tide and stand against the culture in faith.

• Stand Firm: When we resist the tides of culture we are meet with strong opposition.
  Therefore, we must be ready, proactively preparing for cultural opposition.
• Stand Out: Christians are weird, our lifestyle should set us apart from nonbelievers.
  Standing out for Christ grabs the attention of skeptics and brings glory to God.
• Stand By: There is more coming; Jesus’ return could happen at any moment.
  Use this time to get ready and become more like Christ.
