5 For you are all children of light, children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness. 6 So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober. ~ 1 Thessalonians 5:5-6
There was a time when the Church separated itself from popular culture. It did not let the dictates of society compel them to act or think in a certain way. Instead, they relied on Scripture combined with the teaching of the Church elders.
But today’s Christians are so caught up in politics and political parties that they are more loyal to them than to God, ethnicities, fame and fortune, wealth and riches, movie stars and music stars. The worst part is the Christians of today will defend all of these distractions and false idols tooth and nail, even against the Word of God. It has caused their hearts to grow lukewarm, at best, and have completely lost their way entirely, at worst.
They no longer give their full allegiance to the LORD, nor do they hold His holy Word in high esteem, reading and studying it every single day. Why? Because when we constantly give into our flesh and stop feeding our spirit man, our flesh begins to take over and give way to spiritual slumber.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Ignore The Lullaby.
