October 27 “Do Not Be Conformed to this WORLD” Romans 12:2
Good morning from Pastor Glen Brock, Baptist Tabernacle Church, Wendell, North Carolina… “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” (Romans 12:2)
How can a “Born-Again Believer” participate in the depravity of the Politics of the Day, and support positions that are contrary to the Word of God, and participate in the condemnation of fellow confessing believers for opposing their positions and opinions that do not edify God, but the opposite, as they are supporting actions that are contrary to the instructions of God’s Holy Word? This Conflict among professing believers has always baffled me! Amazingly, while the World is exploding and Hate rages on every continent, our nation, our people, our leaders seem to be focused on one single issue (and that means that they think that is what you prioritize), and that is the issue of Abortion! Some refer to it as “Women’s Health,” or “A Right to Choose,” or “Reproductive Rights,” but the reality is amazingly clear! When a people, an educated and intelligent people, focus on one single issue that will determine leadership and the course of a nation, and the leaders chosen to direct the welfare of its people, are guided by the issue of Abortion, then that nation is headed for destruction!! If you are offended and you take a moment to reflect on what is right and noble and just and edifying to God, then it is, absolutely, worth it! Titus 2:12 declares the position that we should embrace: “teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age…” YOU CANNOT SERVE SATAN AND SERVE GOD AT THE SAME TIME! James 1:8 clearly expresses a FACT: “A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.” Be Real, Be Genuine, Be Strong in the Face of Worldly Pressures, DO NOT COMPROMISE YOUR FAITH!!!!!!! Stay Strong, Stay Focused…. THE BEST IS YET TO BE!
