Lessons From Lenin And Trotsky

Friday, September 10, 2021

Take a look at the major revolutions of the age. You'll notice that the leaders of those revolutions were almost all people of discipline. They might have been doing evil things but they were disciplined about it. Lenin, Stalin, Trotsky, and Mao weren't lazy people. They didn't spend their nights in bars, clubs, or sitting in front of television sets. They put everything in their lives in subjection to the revolution and they prevailed. As a believer, you're part of the true revolution. But believers often live undisciplined lives. We are called to be the most revolutionary of peoples and to impact the world. The only way we're going to do that is if we become disciplined. The word disciple is linked to discipline. And self-control is a fruit of the Spirit. If the children of this world could be disciplined for their causes which are nothing at best, or evil at worst - then it's for you to become all the more disciplined - for you are a member in the only true revolution on earth.
