There are two things
that are apparent in today's world; 1. Christians are not gathering for
worship, service, and study like they should. 2. The world is getting worse
(more evil). Neither of these two facts take God by surprise.
Let
us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.
And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good
deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing,
but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching. –
Hebrews 10:23-25
So...
What can we do about it?
First,
we need to make church a priority instead of a second (or third...) choice. Our
desire to meet with God's people as His family must mean something of utmost
importance. Those around us will notice, and we'll be better for it.
Second,
we need to be proactive in our stance for God's plan and ways (righteousness).
Praying constantly and speaking up when we have our chance. The church's
silence in the face of evil has done as much to promote wickedness as the enemy
himself. There is a battle being raged between good and evil.
Whose
side are you on?
