Standing Firm
As followers of our Creator, we are called to live differently from the world. The Bible teaches us not to conform to worldly standards but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. Conformity can be a struggle, especially when society pressures us to compromise our faith.
It’s so easy to be influenced by our culture. We are bombarded by social media, news media, and even family and friends who are not sure of what they believe. We are called to be transformed by the renewing of our minds so that we can discern God’s will. Conformity to the world leads us away from God’s truth, but when we allow His Spirit to renew us, we can live according to His perfect plan.
It’s not easy to change. I, for example, still struggle with cursing. It’s a tough habit to break. It’s been my way of venting my frustrations, but I need to figure out another way to vent.
Transformation happens when we surrender to God’s Word and allow Him to shape our thoughts, actions, and attitudes.
One of the biggest challenges is resisting peer pressure. The world tries to influence us to follow its ways, but God calls us to stand firm in righteousness. Even church leadership can be influenced by changing doctrines to appear more “tolerant” to our changing culture norms. This is a dangerous practice that can lead members astray.
Be on guard my friends!
