THE WORD FOR THE WEEK FROM THE WORD
I COR. 5:1
How far do we go? From the very beginning of Christianity, fellow believers have been persecuted. Some for their narrow beliefs that only through Jesus can people be saved and go to heaven. Some because they were concerned for biblical baptism. And some because of their godly lifestyle. I often think about those fanatical followers of Jesus being willing to die for their beliefs and how casual we have become to the point we are not willing to live out our beliefs. The word for the week from the Word is, “s*xual immorality among you.” I wonder what Paul would think if he lived today and saw 21st century American Christianity?
Are we not reading God’s Word? Do we not care what God says? Do we not think the Holy Bible is the Word of God? So, my question is: can we honestly call ourselves followers of Jesus Christ when we are living a life of sin or immorality? When will we take a stand for righteousness? How far can and will we slide? What does the future for Christianity look like? Too many questions; let’s stand on the Word of God.
Your pastor, Alan
