And having chosen them, he called them to come to him. And having called them, he gave them right standing with himself. And having given them right standing, he gave them his glory. Romans 8:30 NLT

Glorify His Goodness

Portraying the Lord’s glory as something shameful is a huge problem in our society. The Bible warns us to be careful not to call evil “good” and good “evil.”

“How long, O you sons of men, will you turn my glory to shame? How long will you love worthlessness and seek falsehood?” – Psalm 4:2-3

You don’t call worthless things glorious and shameful things wonderful without God saying, “Really?” You lose your value for goodness if you don’t care about what is real or true. Be on guard in these final days, because under the disguise of political correctness, good is being called evil in popular culture and the headlines every day.

Rioters who place one race above others are lauded. Choosing the clothing and bathroom one “identifies with” is considered courageous, and killing an unborn baby is a protected “choice.” In the world of political correctness, equality is all that matters. To disagree with the world, you will be called evil, unloving, and ultimately, un-Christian.

The world says Jesus wanted all to be equal; therefore, they are doing what Jesus would do. Hogwash!  Allow the Holy Spirit to guide you and give you the boldness to draw the line. Speak the truth and bring glory to God.

We are not created equal, just ask the ugly when they look at the beautiful, or the poor when they see the rich. If you’re going to survive this wave of political correctness, understand that life is not fair!

Read the Psalms. They are a testimony to how unfair this fallen world really is.

The only place things are fair, equal, and right is in Heaven when we become like Christ. Until then, keep testifying to a dying world that Jesus is the answer and He is good!

Grounded in Faith

Declare!

The world does not draw me into the lies and labels used in the culture around meI have been set free from all of that. My eyes and ears are focused on the Word and the Ways of Jesus. He is in me and with me, so I bring His Kingdom into the world and refuse to let the world get into meThere is nothing worth stepping out of the identity He has given meHoly Spirit gives me the boldness to live a life of Truth.
