1 Corinthians 15:58

Hold the Line

Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. ^{I Corinthians 15:58 ESV}

Do this, knowing the time, that it is already time for you to awaken out of sleep, for salvation is now nearer to us than when we first believed. The night is far gone, and the day is near. Let’s therefore throw off the deeds of darkness, and let’s put on the armor of light. ^{Romans 13:11-12 WEB}

We always need to make sure we stand behind our values. People are always gonna attack us. Keep in mind that if people hadn’t stood behind their values the slaves wouldn’t be free. We would still be sacrificing people to deities that are not real. It would’ve been considered acceptable to have had people put in concentration camps and gas chambers. And there’d still be people in white hoods burning crosses in innocent peoples yards. It is so important to read our Bibles so that we can understand exactly what God wants.

Consider the fact that when they were putting people in concentration camps, and in the gas chambers, they were convinced that they were right. It was the “best thing” for society that surrounded those areas, they said that the Jewish people were lower class, a disease that needed to be exterminated. The crosses that were being burnt in peoples front yards were also evaluated as acceptable because once again society said that they were parasites.

It is also why they had something called the Great Crusades. The crusades were created to effectively give certain persons nobility and increased power. Through the whole thing they claimed it was done in the name of God. The reality was that it was a humans fight to gain control over others, ego. It is why it is so important that we know exactly what God wants. We need to understand what He says when we are told to love your neighbor, John 13:34-35. In Matthew we are told we cannot serve two masters; we can’t serve the world and serve God at the same time.

“No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You can’t serve both God and Mammon. Matthew 6:24 ESV

I know this seems hard right now when every time you try to say something you’re considered to be something you’re not. You’re considered to be a racist, xenophobe, or whatever is the trigger word for that week. But as a Christian; it is our responsibility when people are walking around right now trying to find comfort in stuff like drugs. Comforting themselves in things that do not last. They try to convince themselves that what they’re doing is all right even though if they really look what they are doing they know it’s wrong.

As a Christian we have the answer to help those who are struggling. It is our responsibility to introduce others to The only way to get past all of this chaos. Share the love and compassion of Jesus Christ. Do our best to make sure that everyone around our circle knows the love that He shares and what He offers. Make sure you don’t allow others to convince you that by sharing this love you’re sharing something that is hateful and disgusting. It’s quite the opposite, be confident and know you’re trying to hold up people and trying to show them what God wants for them.

We need to be proud of how and who God made us to be. When we understand that we are exactly who we’re supposed to be, we are exactly who God made us to be, you know the purpose of life, love. We can give so much comfort to those who are confused and misunderstanding who and what they are.

Dear Heavenly Father; help us to be immovable in those things that you want us to do. Give me the strength to take every step in the direction that You want me to go. Give me the sight to see those things that are wrong that you want to be fixed, while helping me not be distracted. In Jesus Name Amen
