Shameful Ways

Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth in disrepute.

2 Peter 2:2

Wow! This passage is a little foretelling of times to come by the apostle Peter and it seems to perfectly describe the scene today in modern day America. I was in a book store yesterday looking for a book called "The Shack" that has been recommended by several friends. While I was gazing through all of the books in the "Spiritual Growth" section of Barnes and Nobles I noticed a book in that section that was discussing Spirituality without God that had been written by an atheist. There seems to be tolerance in our society today for every form of religion except Christianity. There are even tolerance and laws to protect groups that radically disobey the word of God, however, to discuss your relationship with Jesus in public has caused for convening of the Supreme Court in attempts to remove any mention of God from our schools. To call yourself a Christian in today’s society does indeed cause disrepute and uproar within our society that has seemed to have lost all respect and honor for our Creator and His Son Jesus who died to set us free from living in the bondage and oppression that we seem to be living in as a country today. If you call yourself a Christ follower then I would encourage and challenge you today to love this world around you whole-heartedly with the agape love that lives inside for there are many people that you will come into contact with today that desperately need to experience God in order that their perspective and direction on how to live an abundant life can be changed. It is only as you and I live out the miracle of God’s grace in our lives that our world will be changed for the better and restored to the perfect love and peace that only comes through relationship with our Father in Heaven.
