Athanasius

He was one of the great Christian leaders of the fourth century. A strong and feard debater against Arianism, his deep roots relationally with people and fiery spirit made him almost invincible in arguments. He was very crafty, and understood common sense. I learned from him that sometimes Christians are called to be crafty and to have a fiery spirit! Too many Christians today are just trying to be nice and focus on the sweet love of Jesus. It is good to be nice sometimes, but we are also called to have some fire in our bellies in order to have God work through us for his transformational purposes.
