Is being a Christian about standing up for what we believe in or being relevant to the culture we live in? Yes. We are called to be faithful and fruitful. Holy and helpful.
Unfortunately, many Christians tend to move to the extremes. Some will circle the wagons while others sacrifice their morals. It can be extremely challenging to live in the balance between the two.
The same God that says, “Therefore, come out from among unbelievers, and separate yourselves from them, says the Lord.†(1 Corinthians 6:14), also says, “Go into all the world.†(Mark 16:15)
Our mission is not to condemn the world or conform to it. We are called to be people of purpose and principle who are shaped by the Spirit of God. As we allow God to transform us into His image, we must strive to join God in His dream of restoring this world to what He intended it to be in the first place. Heaven is not just a future promise to wait for; it’s also a goal to work towards in the place we find ourselves now.
Let’s work together to become people who aren’t just waiting for Heaven; let’s make it our mission to bring the Kingdom of God to life here and now.
shine!
