I was struck when reading the list of people God writes will taste hell, the second death. What struck me most wasn't the list in itself but rather the ORDER of the list, especially because it puts COWARDS at the top.

A coward is a person lacking courage; very fearful or timid.
Courage is the quality of mind or spirit that enables a person to face difficulty, danger, pain, etc., without fear; bravery or to act in accordance with one's beliefs, esp. in spite of criticism.
(http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/coward and http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/courage)

In what areas of your life are you not standing for the things you believe in?

When you do not act in accordance with your beliefs, you are in effect saying that you do not trust or believe God.

And without faith, it is impossible to please God.

God says to us, "be strong and very courageous..." ... "for I am with you"!

As Robert Schuller once said, "If you were guaranteed success, what would you undertake"? Now, we aren't guaranteed success, but we ARE guaranteed that God will be with us always, through all circumstances. And we are guaranteed that God will judge us for what we do (and fail to do) on this earth!

Sov go for it --- be courageous.

Revelation 21:8
