"For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline. Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord..." 2 Tim 1:7-8
In today's world, it seems that Christianity is under constant attack. Even a casual look at the evenings television programming will show that reprobate lifestyles are commonplace and even encouraged. Whereas strong Christian role models are almost impossible to find, the popularity of characters who are abusive, fornicating or homosexual are on the increase. Radio programming is now available by subscription in order to avoid the ever relaxing morality clauses required by the FCC. All manner of debauchery is available and millions are willing to pay for access to it. Lastly, though the internet contains a wealth of positive and necessary information, there is no small amount of sinful resources available there.
Beloved, we must be the standard bearers. If we as disciples of Christ do not stand up for a way of life that has been called for since our creation, who will? Those who advocate for godlessness are not shy about their beliefs, nor do they hesitate to inflict them on others. We must realize that we are soldiers in a great battle. We must not hesitate to enthusiastically live our convictions and advocate for policies, principles and laws that reflect this. We continue to be "one nation under God." Let us not live as the defeated. Christ has already won the battle.
In Revival,
Lee
