When
we declare the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ as being "Our Lord"
that means He is Lord over everything, every thought, every decision, and every relationship. It means what God does not condone, we can't
either. We have a great responsibility to others to speak Truth and
live Truth.
We
are responsible to train our children and stand against all the evil
that is being thrown at them through our culture. It is not for us to
allow the world and ungodly people to dictate to them what Truth is
or what is acceptable. We cannot tell them it is okay to live like
the world and participate in every ungodly activity that society has
conceived. We cannot allow them to be seduced by the perversion of
evil people who are only concerned about their evil ideas.
When
we become politically correct and tolerate the sickened agenda that
"Hollywood " is portraying even to little children, we have
fallen short of the mandate that God set for those who call Him Lord.
Little minds and little hearts are being so abused by society thru
the media. We may wonder when this will stop? Will we ever be normal
again? I don't think so, only worse because too many have been
tolerant of immodest fashion, disorderly conduct and even attitudes
of "however I want to live is okay because society accepts it."
Many
have failed to teach that wrong exists, that bad exists, and that
unacceptable exists. We must tell them we are not to justify and
condone every lifestyle. Many Christian leaders are not addressing
the problems that we are facing in this generation, because tolerance
has slipped into many churches. Many Christians want to be accepted
and listened too so they walk on eggshells and speak the acceptable
message that makes people feel good instead of telling them the
Truth. We must not remain silent, fearing isolation and rejection by
society and even some churches because we do not justify (free from
blame or guilt) those who do wickedly. "There is a way which
seemeth right unto a man but the end thereof are the ways of death,"
Proverbs 14:12 KJV.
Jesus
Christ is our hope! He is the remedy for all sin. He leads and guides
us day by day when we live by His Word. Oh, His Grace is sufficient
to hold us and to heal our broken hearts when those we love are more
influenced by the world than they are by us. We must never give up!
We must keep praying and proclaiming the Word of God for it is life
unto salvation.
"But
ye beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying
in the Holy Ghost, Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for
the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. And of some
having compassion, making a difference: and others save with fear,
pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the
flesh. Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to
present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding
joy, To the only WISE God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion
and power, both now and ever. Amen," Jude 20-25. This scripture
is powerful and covers what we need to do.
