Standing Resolute
Standing ResoluteLiving Boldly In Christ We desperately need spiritual courage in today's world. Like the football players I have coached in college, Christians face intense pressure, uncertainty, and hostility. Often, we must stand alone against formidable odds, confronted with trials designed to test our faith and resolve. But just as my players learn to anticipate greatness on the football field, believers should live with a similar expectancy-an assurance that God is working powerfully, even amid adversity.The reality is stark: the world we live in today is openly hostile to Christ and those who follow Him. Around the globe, believers face persecution, imprisonment, and even martyrdom. Yet, in America, comfort has often led to spiritual complacency. Many drift casually in and out of commitment, unaware of the high stakes of their faith. The story of Daniel in the Bible offers lessons on standing firm amidst pressures to conform.It's time to embrace courageous faith, resolve to live uncompromisingly for Christ, and anticipate greatness, not in our strength but through the power and grace of the One who empowers us. Let's stand resolute together. Ron Brown has a long-standing association with Husker football, having served as an assistant coach for 24 seasons. He became the Director of Player Support and Outreach for Nebraska football in 2018 before assuming his current role of coaching punt returners, fullbacks and assisting the running backs coach. He co-founded Kingdom Sports in 2018 and has been a well-known speaker at FCA and churches throughout his career.
