It wont be...Diversity has done its job...now you are a bigot and Republican Right Wing Zelot if you have any stance other than that of the Church of Libralism.
Welcome to the New America...Change has come.
But God is not suprised....go about the Lords work and
do not worry...God is in control.
Recognize the Effort Needed to Understand God
Read: 2 Timothy 4:3-5
Key Question: In vv.3-5, what is both the implied and stated effort you will need to make in order to grow spiritually?
From 1960 to 1966 a great baseball player named Maury Willis set the record for most stolen bases. In 1962 he set the club record for the Dodgers with 104 stolen bases during a regular season. However, Maury Willis set another record in those years, a record obscured by his accomplishments on the baseball field. In 1965 he held the record for most stolen bases, but he also held the dubious distinction for most times called out in a single season while attempting the steals — 31 times in 1965. Maury Willis didn’t let those failures or setbacks discourage him from trying as he kept his eye on the opportunities and took them one at a time. A faith that grows will require taking one opportunity at a time, getting back up when failure occurs and trying again and again. It is not easy but worth it.
Paul in vv.3-4 speaks of a day when people will take the easy road and they will not “put up with sound doctrine” or any inconvenient truth from God’s Word (v.3a). “… Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them …” those who will tell them only what they want to hear (e.g. “what their itching ears want to hear” v.3b). In v.4, Paul further concludes such people will “turn away from the truth” and turn instead to “myths”. Our natural inclination is to create God and life to our own personal liking.
In v.5 Paul challenges young Timothy and the church in Ephesus, “Don’t take the easy road and surround yourself with those who simply tell you what you want to hear.” Instead he depicts a transformed life as one with the ability to think straight when others do not (“keep your head in all situations”); the ability to endure challenges in life (“endure hardship”); the ability to be an effective witness (“do the work of an evangelist”); and the ability to make a difference in other’s lives (“discharge all the duties of your ministry”).
Conclusion
“Millions of people in our culture make decisions for Christ, but there is a dreadful attrition rate … In our culture anything, even good news about God, can be sold if it is packaged freshly; but when it loses its novelty, it goes to the garbage heap. There is a great market for religious experience in our world; there is little enthusiasm for the patient acquisition of virtue, little inclination to sign up for a long apprenticeship.” (Eugene Peterson)
Faith does not grow simply because there is a desire for it to. You have to be willing to “sign up for a long apprenticeship”. Growing faith occurs when we refuse to give up and commit instead to a journey that will take a life time. The easy road will always be available and tempting, but to grow you must learn to resist taking it.
