What if our churches were closed down? What if it was suddenly illegal to own or read the Bible? Are you faithfully studying God's Word for yourself or are you content to be spoon-fed on Sunday mornings? Do you have enough of God's Word hidden in your heart to sustain you? Could you remain faithful? Could you teach others?
Hypocrites! Jesus rebuked the religious leaders repeatedly with that accusation. But hypocrisy isn't as obvious as it might seem. Those leaders certainly didn't see themselves as hypocrites. Worse yet, they taught others to live and see God just as they did. Even if our intentions are good, could we be guilty of hypocrisy, as well? And could we be in danger of unknowingly teaching our children to be little hypocrites? If our goal is to have well-behaved children, could that foster hypocrisy? How can we avoid hypocrisy ourselves and be better able to point our children to a genuine relationship with Christ?
What's wrong with living together? Many people today argue that a marriage license is "just a piece of paper." Others claim that marriage was an institution designed by society or governments and is no longer necessary or useful. And in fact, our government seems to be perfectly accepting of cohabitation as an alternative. Many businesses consider domestic partners, as they are sometimes referred to, eligible for benefits. Society, as a whole, no longer gives it much thought. So, is marriage an outdated concept? Is living together the practical, logical, even necessary, thing to do in many circumstances? Also, why do we need to be willing to speak the truth about the LGBTQ+ array of issues? Why must we refuse to be silent?
