From an old country and western song, “You can put me in the cold water, but you can’t keep me down.” The meaning is I can be shoved around, but when I’ve reached my limit, shovers beware. There is a time and place where one needs to fight back. Christians are encouraged to fight, but they should be those who fight at the right time for the right things.
Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
Therefore, take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Give it some thought.
