We are living in these kinds of days. In fact, not only are we
living in a world that is filled with this kind of culture, we are seeing this
culture seep into the church. Now in our culture we see Christians that
have succumbed to the pressure to re-write the Bible to allow and accept a new
form of morality. They are replacing the morality of Scriptures with the
morality of Politicians and Celebrities. Even Pastors, Shepherds, Leaders
that claim to be the mouthpiece of God have given in to the political will of
their culture. This is not the first time we have seen this happen. The
prophets Jeremiah, Isaiah, and Ezekiel all found themselves among a people and
Spiritual leaders that claimed to be in the light yet only preached darkness.
God used these prophets to be his voice to a stubborn people. These men
were persecuted for their stand to proclaim a message that they themselves did
not establish, but were called to preach. In the same manner our message
may not always be accepted but it must be pure and true to the Word of God.
You see we did not create the gospel, write the Bible, or think up God.
It was there before us and will be there long after we are gone. So
understand that if you are a BELIEVER, your life and culture will be shaped by
the Word of God. As believers we shouldn’t try to re-interpret the Bible
and ignore truths, in order to make God more acceptable in our culture.
Although you may have a form of godliness you will possess no power.
Remember the Bible is our protection and within it is our joy, peace,
grace, and freedom.
