“Acts of Resistance”

What acts of resistance have you taken this week? For example, in a culture that breeds and breathes and encourages laziness and complacency, an act of resistance might be showing up to an F3 workout.or maybe an act of resistance is showing up to that hard conversation with a loved one or family member. Or maybe an act of resistance is not grabbing that 3rd beer or choosing to eat something different or putting down the phone at a certain hour of the day or night. Or an act of resistance might be just showing up somewhere like church or F3 or to something that’s good for you rather than allowing you to talk you out of it. 

These small acts of resistance deter us from slipping into complacency, comfortability, and less than what God has called us to be as men. 

There’s a great Star Wars quote about The Resistance: “They win by making us think we’re alone.”

Action Item as HIM

“But you, man of God, flee from these things, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, and gentleness. Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of eternal life to which you were called and about which you have made a good confession in the presence of many witnesses.” (1 Timothy 6:11-12 CSB)

  • Identity: You, man of God
  • Action: Flee, Pursue, Fight the good fight, Take hold
