As I watch the world
continue to get worse by the hour I stand by in shock.
Not in shock of the
sin our world has accepted as the new normal, but in shock of the reaction to
the sin.
Or lack of reaction.
Where are the
Christians who are willing to fight for what we believe is right? Where are the
men who are willing to stand up and protest against the way women are being
treated?
Where are the people
who will raise opposition to little boys who say they would rather be girls and
their families who just accept it?
Who will defend
biblical marriage when lesbian and gay marriages have just become legal?
Who will raise their
voice in protest against abortion?
Christians where are
you?
There is a battle to
be fought and it’s time for action. It’s time to step up to the plate and show
the world what it looks like when Christians join together and oppose what is
going on in the world around us. How much longer will we sit silently watching
the world decay at such a rapid pace.
Matthew 5 says
Christians are to be salt.
What does salt do?
It stops decaying; it
preserves things.
Christians are called
to stop the decay in the world.
So why aren’t we
doing that? Why aren’t we going out in strong opposition against society? What
is holding us back?
I think Christians
are afraid, afraid of what people might say, afraid of what people will think
about them, afraid to make a mistake.
Christians, DO NOT BE
AFRAID TO MAKE MISTAKES.
Christians are called
to humility. We need to show the world that we aren’t,
“pure and righteous”.
We are striving
towards being pure and righteous but we will never achieve it. We will make
mistakes just like unbelievers do. So many unbelievers think that Christians
believe they’re perfect, but that’s far from the truth.
Making mistakes isn’t
going to turn people away from Christ, but in fact it will often cause the
reverse effect. When a non-believer sees a Christian who is humble enough to
admit when they are wrong then it will make it obvious that anything we do that
is “pure and righteous” has to come from the Lord and not ourselves.
It’s time to step up.
It’s time to live out the calling the Lord gave us in Matthew 5 when He
commanded us to be salt to the world and stop the decay. This isn’t the time
when we should be sitting back in defeat saying the world is already too far
down the path of sin. Now is the time to take action and preserve what is left
of our society and bring our country back to Christ.
Christians, your
calling is clear.
Will you sit back and
watch or will take up arms and fight this battle which is before us?
