Scripture:
Jude 19 - These people create divisions and are unbelievers, not having the Spirit. 
Romans 12:2  - Do not be conformed to this age

Devotional:
Today, ponder the symbolism of the cross and its variations, including the Chi-Rho. While the cross represents Jesus' sacrifice, the Chi-Rho combines the first two letters of the Greek word for Christ. Explore the historical significance of the Chi-Rho, linked to Constantine's vision before the Battle of Milvian Bridge. 

Consider how defending and brandishing the faith align with Paul's exhortation in Romans 12:2. As Christians, we must not conform to the world but contend for the faith against scoffers and deception. 

Daily Challenge:
Create a simple symbol or artwork that represents your faith journey. Share it with someone and explain how it reflects your commitment to contending for the faith. 

Prayer:
Lord, help us understand the power and significance of the cross and the Chi-Rho. Strengthen our resolve to contend for the faith and stand against cultural conformity. Amen.
