I will neither shrink in fear nor strut with arrogance, instead I will seek to live in the Truth that is Jesus.
Last week's Supreme Court ruling on Marriage Equality may very well be pulling the thread that unravels the moral fabric of our nation. There will certainly be implications and consequences for our communities, for our churches, and for our individual lives. But our hope has never been and will never be in the government—humanity's only hope is Jesus, who is alive and is Sovereign over all things, and holds all things together. Can this be, should it be our wake-up call as believers - as a church—as The Church? Could it be that God will use this as a catalyst for repentance and revival? It is often what happened in the history of his people Israel and it could certainly be the case for his people the Church today. 9 Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. 10 Love one another with brotherly affection. Out do one another in showing honor. 11 Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. 12 Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. 13 Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality. 14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. 16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight. 17 Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. 18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. Romans 12:9-18 Let us neither shrink in fear nor strut in arrogance, but live in the Truth that is Jesus.
