Facing Your Giants, Part 4 Doug Bradshaw
Sherri King @ Mar 4, 2007 04:30 PM
The PEOPLE stone.............So far, we have PRAYER, BIBLE, and now PEOPLE. We need people to help us fight our secret giants. Secret giants are those behaviors and attitudes that we are ashamed to talk about. We don't want anyone to know about. The giants are like wolves.........they get us to think we are the only person in our circle of friends or church that has this problem.....then the giants get bigger, and we get more afraid of being found out...........
PEOPLE can help us fight our secret giants.
We need Nathans. Nathans (See II Samuel 12) help keep us accountable. Nathans are most helpful when they are struggling with the same giants we are. God wants to expose the giants to the light.
We can all identify our secret giants that hide in the darkness, but what about the secret giants that are "socially acceptable"? The workaholic, the exercise addict? Regardless if its socially acceptable or not, If it separates you from God, its a secret giant, Right?

Today we received stone #2.......BIBLE. Stone #1 was PRAYER. These two stones together have MEGA power.....we underuse them. We forget just how powerful they are. The world is becoming a darker place, full of the "T" word.....Tolerance. Tolerance of behavior that is not uplifting, not in the spirit, not in the Word. We forget that we should be tolerant of PEOPLE, not bad behavior.
We should not be afraid to stand up for the truth, even if its not in fashion, or favorable public opinion. Remember Ephesians? The armour of God?
What society "currents" have pushed you to be "tolerant"? Did you go with the flow? How did you handle your decision????
