Our founding fathers created a governing framework based on godly principles,
yet slowly over time “One Nation Under God” to many people today
no longer want God to be involved in their lives or even recognize that there is a 'god.'
It’s not hard to see that our country and civilization has become ungodly in several ways.
Today, many are driven by materialism and power;
immorality, rebellion and open lawlessness are becoming more and more prevalent,
empty philosophies and false doctrines are widely and openly accepted
and underlying it all is the push to keep God out of people’s affairs.
While our country and the world will continue down this path of self-gratification
(and it will only be getting worse)
if you are a believer in Christ you must be careful and discerning not to compromise
your faith and conviction, no matter how the shifting winds of popular opinion may be.
The Word of God is a reliable compass that keeps us headed in the right direction even in the midst of
so many self-serving messages and it can only be followed by consistently filling our hearts and minds
by reading, believing, and meditating upon the scriptures.
God’s Word also says to “pray without ceasing.” (1 Thessalonians 5:17), and when we do
and our minds are focused on Him, ungodly thought will not take root.
The Word of God is our guidebook which addresses every human experience.
When we take quality time to study it’s pages
the Holy Spirit fills us with confidence and boldness and
enables us to live our lives victoriously, even while living in this imperfect world.
You and I have an opportunity every day to be a shining light to
an ungodly world.
— What kind of light are you?
