Against The Current

Have you ever tried to swim or row a boat upstream?  It takes a lot of focus, struggle and perseverance, yet the salmon do it every year!  Such is the Christian life.  As the Apostle Peter reminds us in 1 Peter 4:1-6, a life committed to swimming upstream in a downstream culture is only possible when we arm ourselves with the mind of Christ, cut off all sin, and keep our focus on the end goal.
