Living by Genuine Conviction

There is something about someone who stands up for what they believe in
People take notice

• Tienanmen square
• East Germans slamming their picks axes into the Berlin Wall

It strikes a cord deep inside us even if you don't agree with the cause they represent
Seekers are not impressed with spinelessness

Seekers are trying to make up their own minds about what to do with the claims of Christ
When a believer speaks up, they are forces to deal with the implication for their lives

A Roman centurion watched as Jesus

• Continued to claim to be God's Son
• Take care of his mother's needs
• Extend grace to the repentant thief

The soldier's heart was eventually moved and said - "Surely this man was the Son of God!"

Nothing short of Jesus' laying down his life would have brought this cynical soldier to his knees

Key Phrase: Seekers are not impressed with spinelessness
