"It's Not Important That We Win, It's Important That We Fight" Dr. Andrew Fowler

There are times that I feel like we are fighting a loosing battle. Sin is at its best, and seems that it is prevailing throughout our land. Morality is being attacked, children are not being nurtured, our families are being torn apart and the church has lost its focus. As one who intentionally tries to live "counter-culture," Sometimes we fight battles that we seemingly would never win. I was recently reminded that the great Dr. Andrew Fowler said during the fight against lottery, after his assistant ask what was the use of fighting against something that everyone knew would pass (lottery), his answer was, "It's not important if loose, it's important that we fight."

God needs us to be so sold out for him that we are willing to take unpopular positions against society, culture, and the status quo in order to be pleasing to God.
