Washed in the blood, still losing the same fight. Why?
Pastor Steve Cioccolanti spent two weeks pastoring people whose lives had come apart, and noticed the same thing every time: they had drifted from the basics of faith. So he went back to Revelation 12 and the three things overcomers actually do. The blood is only the first. The second is free, and Christians throw it away daily in idioms learned at home. The third may be the hardest for modern believers.
Faith, in his words, "is feeling comfortable with feeling uncomfortable." Picture Mary, pregnant and unmarried, facing the gossip of Bethlehem for years.
