Unmovable

Did you see this in the news?

An elderly couple in China refused to sign an agreement to allow their home to be demolished, so the authorities built a road around the building.

I’m not sure what to think about that.

I guess one way would be to say they are stubborn and selfish. There is another way to look at it, the way I am choosing this morning. There are times when you must stand for what you believe in.

Knowing one from the other is a matter of spiritual discernment that needs to be rooted in a firm understanding of God’s story and through a relationship with a community of others also living in the Story.

I Corinthians 15:58 — Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

What are the unmovable things in your life?
