Grace—Antidote for Despair and Arrogance

Takeaway: There are times when it feels like Christianity is losing. It feels like we are a shrinking minority. This produces discouragement and wavering commitment. Other times it is easy to feel arrogant in relation to those who have not reached the same moral convictions or knowledge of Christ. The grace of the gospel, however, should lead us to confident humility. Does your confidence or discouragement about your faith depend on your perceived success of Christianity in the world?
