Coming home I always knew that I would encounter something that would be hard for me to return to. It of course is different for everyone. I have realized after this week how much evil resides within our country. I am struggling with how all consuming it is. I am struggling with knowing that prayer will not fix all of it. I hate that there is no escape and there is not a place where Christians are free of it.
I have come back to a society that has taken Christ out of things. I have come back to a place where Christianity is put on the back burner. A place where if you state your opinion you are offending someone. And I am tired of people getting offended by the biblical truths. I am tired of America telling me that I have to be okay with things that are not biblical. I am tired of America telling me what I can and can’t believe.
This nation has become so evil, and I know that right now my only solution is to spread the love of Christ. I know that I must hold tight to my beliefs and what I know to be true. I know that I need to pray that I never let others and this World tell me what I need to believe. I think as Christians we should not waver, we should not compromise because the World says to. I believe as Christians we should pray that Christianity would have as big of a say as these activist do.
We live in an unfair World, and as I am burdened that it is only going to get worse, I have to hold onto the truth.
Let’s be bold even if offends someone ( do it with love of course and out of concern) Jesus offended people by staying true to God.
God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation, afterward they will recieve the crown of life that God has promised them. – James 1:12
I’m in it for my crown.
Please pray for this feeling of being overwhelmed by evil.
Thank you,
Lexi
