“preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry. – 2 Timothy 4:2-5
Sounds like our country right now!
It’s easier to remain silent in our country, especially right now. It takes courage and faith to speak up! But there are so many Americans doing so :). Those who share their faith in Jesus with others. And those who live by by their faith and the God’s Word. They care far more about God’s opinions, then they do the world’s!
There are the bakers, the florists and all the others who refuse to violate their faith in God’s Word so that the “elite” will approve of them. Those that serve God by reaching out to others in kindness and love. There are so many Americans who love our Lord and serve Him every day!
“be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of yourr mind, that ye may prove what is good, and acceptable, and perfect, will f God.” – Romans 12:2
Gaining God’s approval is much, much more important than gaining the world’s. One is forever (God’s) and one is temporary (the world’s). So choose wisely 🙂
We all get afraid to speak up sometimes. But the “Battle is the Lord’s” , which means the outcome belongs to God-not us. But we do have a part in it. Our part is to share our faith with others. Follow Jesus-not the world. It matters not what Washington or anyone else says is right, it matters what God says is right! And fortunately for us, He placed His “instructions” in the Bible. So if you are struggling with trying to know what is right and what is wrong, simply ask the Holy Spirit to Help you read God’s Word on it in the Bible 🙂
“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” -2 Timothy 1:7
Share your faith in Jesus today:) The Holy Spirit will give you the words you need, just ask Him 🙂
