Happy Sunny Days Faithwalkers,
I hope everyone's last semester is winding down well as we enter Summer Break.I have been pretty swell, Blessed, Fantabulous (that's fantastic and fabulous together incase you didn't know).
With so much confusion in our culture and today's society on topics of abortion, homosexuality, and racial division I thought I would write a message on hope. Yes, I want you to stand on the Hope of Christ, and stand strong in what you believe. It is often frustrting to be labeled a person who hates others due to our opposing beliefs. This is not true. People confuse dislike, with hate.
We are one body in Christ so therefore there is no racial division amongst us as believers. It's not us against them, but us (believers), figting together against the wiles of the Devil. There is a misunderstanding on what Love truly is in Christ, we love all people, but we will never agree with the sinful nature of man. Why? Because anything that goes against God's word can never be accepted.
If people tell you, "everybody deserves a little ratchet every now and then", remember Christ said, "Be ye Holy, for I am Holy". When our culture says, you are not "living" when you won't agree to party, drink, behave promiscuosly,and lve like a rebel remember scripture tells us, "not to walk in the counsel of the ungodly" and we have found life in Christ. As the culture continues to press upon us to get money at any cost to our dignity, sanity and soul, live however we please and worry about the consequences later; I have a message for you, from God, your life as a daughter or son of God must continue to be apart of the counterculture of believers who refuse to Bend.
But I am like a green olive tree
in the house of God.
I trust in the steadfast love of God
forever and ever. Psalm 52:8
Never apologize for not compromising! Yea, I said it. I make no apologies for believing in God. Be Bold, Courageous and Proud of who you are, because everyone else in the world is gladly parading around their sinful lifestyle. It's time for you to sprout like a olive tree and continue to Boast on how Great our GOD is. In the end we continue too realize God is truly our only HOPE!
Laugh in the face of the enemy. Smile in the face of opposition.
