Do not conform!

When our Christian life is going well, no persecution, no problems, then we could say that I have no problem with conformity. For I am sure that I am doing the right thing. But we are aware that as Christians there would be lots of challenges that would come in our lives, wherein our faith are being tested. Looking back to the history of Christianity, it is so sad to think that some Christians conformed to the wrong doings of some people for the sake of their safety. I could not blame them for that. But this made me think of my own Christian life. What if I would be put in a ministry where my belief is being tested by the people that surrounds me? Should I conform to them for the sake of the  good relationship that we have, which I don't want to be broken? Or should I stand on what I believe no matter what the cost may be? I believe the later is the best choice. It is the right thing to do as long as my views are supported by the Scripture.

To conform, when trouble occurs, seems the right thing to do to avoid more problem. So that we would have a troubled-free life. But of course as a follower of Christ it's a big NO! Because in reality no life is troubled-free. Conformity should not be our option when we experience difficulty in the ministry, instead we ought to let the truth prevail. Just cling on to God.
