Without Christ, one can never discern between right and wrong.
Ephesians 5:15-16, See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
If you have watched the news in the past month you may have been discouraged. On every hand there is gloom and doom, no hope or help in sight. It will get you into the place that you don’t want to do anything. Oh, let’s sleep in. Oh, let’s take the evening off of visitation. Oh, let’s skip church this Sunday. Oh, I’ve heard that preacher before. Oh, the pastor is so old and boring. It will get us to the point of what’s the use—I don’t see anything good coming from what I’m doing.
Christian, what does Scripture command us to do? Look to the news for help or hope—definitely not. Our source of strength and hope is found in Christ Jesus! It’s found in the resurrected Saviour. Don’t let this world and its ways cloud your mind. Wake up out of your sleep and slumber! Fall back in love with Jesus and get back serving Him! Now is not the time to take a break! There is a lost, dying, and hurting generation without Jesus Christ out there needing you and I to be in our place! So, let’s get busy!
