Anybody can die for something, but doing it everyday takes courage.

If someone walked into your house right now and put a gun to your head and asked if you were a Christian, what would you say? Before you answer that, let me tell you that if you should say, "Yes, I am a Christian", this person will shoot you in the head. No, this isn't just some aggressive evangelism gone overboard. I don't know about you, but for me I would proclaim my faith without batting an eyelash. I could die for Christ without difficulty and I don't think that makes me even remotely special; because it's dying for Him day after day that is the true test of faith.

As life presents challenges and opportunities, I am asked daily, "Are you truly a Christ follower?", and daily I need to make the choice to kill my sinful desires and live for Christ. Sometimes... many times, I fail. However sometimes... many times, I succeed. I will continue to die for Christ and in dying I will continue to live for Christ. And while people argue about whether it is more honorable to live or to die for something; we as Christians have the opportunity, obligation, and honor of doing both.
