In America, we profess to be predominantly of Christian faith.\u00a0 But maybe that more accurately describes our origins.\u00a0 We come from a lineage of Christians.\u00a0 But many of us do not appear to be Christians.\u00a0 At least, we don’t act like it. And it’s not popular to be a Christian in our culture. It’s easy to look around us and see what is popular. Look at the magazines\u00a0displayed along the checkout lines at the grocery stores. Consider the content airing on prime time television. Listen to the lyrics of the popular culture music. One of the biggest attractions on the Internet today is pornography. People dress provocatively. Fornication and adultery have become the cultural norm, and more people are experimenting with homosexuality. These things are popular. Striving to be good, pure, virtuous or righteous is not popular. It’s old fashion. And speaking against the things that are popular in our culture is not popular. If anyone speaks against these things, they are accused of being judgmental.\u00a0 But no one can decide on the fate of another.\u00a0 Everyone’s fate lies in the hands of God.\u00a0 He will judge our actions.\u00a0 Those who get caught up in what the popular culture is doing may be in for a big surprise.\u00a0 If you are a Christian,\u00a0you should live according to God’s standards.\u00a0 Christians should remember that they are supposed to be in the world, not of the world.\u00a0 This holds true even if Christianity is unpopular.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
