I am reading some news and a statue of Jesus on the I-75 was struck by lighting. It was burnt to the ground. What is interesting to me is the number of comments written about it. Christan's and non Christians a like. What stands out to me the most is the number of non Christians with something to say about it. One even says "This is a sign saying stop worshiping me and get a life". I didn't know what to say. the blatant disrespect for my God.
Last night some of my friends and I were having a discussion on the fact that we as Christians sometimes compromise our Christianity so that we don't offend others. Interestingly enough, the non christians do not compromise for us. They curse in front of us, they call us out to work and they constantly have negative things to say. And we stay quiet in our churches and youth groups because we do not want to offend.
The fact is if The Word of God says its sin, then guess what, its sin. And nothing one can do or say will change it. So, we will be persecuted because we are no longer 'tolerant' of what the world is trying to deem as ok. But the truth is their is no lukewarm in sin. Its either you are obedient, or disobedient simple as that. So my encouragement is this. Study the word of God so that you can with all Boldness declare it. We can no longer be silent. No one else is.
