Biblical Christianity is rapidly becoming more and more counter-cultural. We are witnessing an erosion of moral conviction, with many seeking "workarounds" to God's commands in the name of being "loving" just to maintain the world's acceptance.
It is genuinely heartbreaking to watch family and friends turn from Godโs design. The pressure to become accepted in social circles is a real struggle to some. Yet, Christ's call demands our steadfast and unwavering allegiance:
"๐ฐ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐
๐
๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐
๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐
๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐
๐๐๐๐๐
๐๐๐ ๐๐๐
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐, ๐๐๐
๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐, ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐." -Luke 14:26
Our devotion to Christ must be an outgrowth of Him being Lord of our lives. Even when forced to choose family members, community, and God, our obedience to our thrice-holy God is a definite non-negotiable.
While the shifting culture is disheartening, it is a direct fulfillment of Scripture. Christ calls us to a level of devotion that truly defines his place in our lives above everyone else:
"๐ฑ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐
๐๐ ๐๐๐, '๐ต๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐
๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐
๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐
๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ฎ๐๐
.'" -Luke 9:62
We must not look back. I pray for those who struggle with these things. I pray their faith will grow and they will choose to stand courageously on Godโs Word and embrace the One who gave Himself on the cross at Calvary.
I pray that all of us will stand firm and unwavering until the day of His appearing. Come soon, Lord Jesus.
