If Christians listen carefully to God’s Spirit in the WORD, we’ll be exempt from the influence of many conflicting voices pedaling philosophies and pledging nostrums for society’s ills.
Point of fact then: the distinguishing factor in life isn’t the age in which we live. Christians in every generation, peace time or war time, economic booms or busts, this or that the rage, have listened to many sounds. But listening to God speak has always clarified for them:
Essential things always come from God and demand our attention. Listening to those truths, and personalizing them in our minds and lives, build Spirit-characteristics, makes us useful citizens now, preserves spiritual values in society and restricts Satan’s influence in culture. God is the ONLY ESSENTIAL in life if we want the above realized. Silencing God’s Voice in the church, or in daily life, hastens the growth of wickedness and guarantees the fall of whatever group fights God. Jesus Christ remains in our day what he has always been in any day: God’s WORD embodied in a man Colossians 2:2-3, 9. Therefore, insisting that Jesus be muzzled or silenced in society removes the ONE ESSENTIAL voice that puts:
Therefore, God in Christ:
Therefore, Christians, consider commitment to Jesus your SINGLE DUTY in life. Like Cortes burning his ships at Vera Cruz prior to marching on Teotihuacan; like Caesar crossing the Rubicon prior to marching to confront Pompey. Consider that you have crossed over from death to life and Jesus empowers you as his warriors to use every gift of the Spirit and every promise of God to successfully wage spiritual warfare in his name. Sursum Corda, Christians. The battle belongs to God. We need only a discipleship whose spiritual antenna quiver only when God speaks in his Word.
