Today the battle for truth is raging. Truth itself has become relative and God's Word carries no authority for the majority of people in our nation and much of the Western World. Some Christians find it difficult to work in their chosen fields without compromising their religious convictions. In many arenas, those who speak up for what is morally right are called bigoted, intolerant, or worse. But we need to be careful about putting our hope in the government to change and protect us. While there might be a temporary slowing of the process, I believe in the long run these trends will continue, perhaps faster than we think possible. So, how can we prepare ourselves for the continuing battle?
Trusting God in an uncertain world ... Is it even possible? Jesus warned believers there would be a time when wars, earthquakes, famines, and other disasters would be more and more common. He compared them to birth pains, getting stronger and more frequent as the delivery approaches. He went on to warn of persecution and betrayal, even from members of our own families. We live in a world of uncertainty today. Biblical morality is coming under increasing criticism. It's attacked and condemned as mean-spirited, self-righteous, homophobic and worse. Religious liberties are being threatened and it will probably get worse. We can add to that list of uncertainties the continued concerns over COVID-19 and future pandemics and the repercussions of long term shut downs. So, how can we stay faithful and continue trusting God in a changing, uncertain world?
What does it mean to fear the Lord? We have all heard the term, but what does it actually mean and how is it lived out in our lives? And how can a simple parenting principle not only help us in our parenting but, also, help us better understand the fear of the Lord?
