I agree. But as the country becomes more wicked, we can either go along or become ostracized.
My pastor had a very interesting visual yesterday. It is quite simple.
He used music stands to illustrate. There is God’s way/law on one music stand. Then there is man’s way on another music stand, and let’s say they are 10ft apartment, and many believers are somewhere in the middle. Then over a few years, man’s way gets further from God’s way and he moved the music stand another 5 ft away, and we are still in the middle. But as this happens, we still drift away from God’s way, while we are still relatively in the middle.
What gets really crazy, is how fast man’s ways are increasing its distance from God’s way, it is accelerating. I went to high school just 20 years ago, and gay jokes were still acceptable. Now we have to celebrate them. The amount of piercings and tattoos has exploded. When I drive by the high school, almost every girl is wearing yoga pants, and no one is dressed very decently.
I don’t know if it is getting harder , or that it always been hard to reject the World’s ways.
