Walking the Line

The more i am studying the difficult topics we are taking about in this sermon series the more i see that they are not difficult at all. We are living in a society where truth has become something that cannot be defined and is left to the interpretation of the individual. The difficulty is not found in preaching on Mormonism, homosexuality or holiness. It is defining the line of God's standard for those who are being blinded by humanistic agenda's. I know that i risk sounding like a crazy bible thumper who is not politically correct. I understand that and i am proud of it. America is starving for the church to take a stance, a hard stance, on truth. The media at large is backed, pressured and funded by those who would like to see the bible removed from anything public AND PRIVATE in America. There is so much confusion in our young people. What to believe. What to stand for. What to accept and where to draw the line. And why not? The average teenager spends countless hours plugged into some form of mass media that is pushing an anti-God standard. America needs leadership. Not really from a person or a political party but from the church. The called out ones. Those who are willing and ready to lay it all down for righteousness. I am not talking about anything new. No new formula of church growth. I am talking about His people getting back to following Him. Knowing what they believe and why and being prepared and ready to defend it. Churches being sold out on making disciples not just counting numbers. The fact is the truth offends. It has. It always will. i am convinced that people will flock to the churches that raise the bar of living. The question is this:
Are we willing to define the line of God's standard to a culture that is rejecting it?
