As the world absorbs another major terrorist attack, I'm
reminded:
There are three alternatives positioned to shape society into the future.
These are:
1) Militant Islam... which seeks a worldwide caliphate, advanced by the sword.
2) Secular Statism... which envisions a world governed by a powerful elite -- without
God.
3) And Biblical Christianity... which is able to transform cultures as the gospel changes individual lives, families, and communities.
Of these options, only Christianity provides what's needed for liberty and prosperity to flourish everywhere on the planet.
But unfortunately, multitudes of Christians have withdrawn
themselves from any effort to influence the culture...
Because...
They're under the mistaken assumption the world is destined to get worse and worse.
Or...
They believe the notion that there is some supposed realm of neutrality that requires them to remain
silent.
In fact...
There is no realm of neutrality.
Remember how Jesus said you're either for Me or against Me? Nothing neutral about that.
Also... neither is the world destined to get worse and worse.
Christ has already inaugurated God's kingdom... and He now rules at the right hand of the Father, while His enemies progressively become a footstool for His feet (1 Cor.15:23-26).
So friend, as we look at our needy world...
Now -- more than ever -- is the time for you to bring
God's grace and truth to bear in every aspect of your life.
