Set The Standard!!

But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--- bringing swift destruction on themselves. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. (2 Peter 2:1-2 NIV)

Do you know someone who you have come in contact with who constantly denies God? If you have, this can cause some discomfort to the conversation. I once read a quote about an atheist that I thought was so true. It read like this: "It's harder to prove that God isn't real than to prove that he is!" If you think about that, then it has a lot of truth to it.  Look around at the universe, the stars, etc, and you'll quickly understand that the so-called "big bang theory" could never have made such an awesome world. Just believe He is who He says he is!

Sadly enough, people fall into the trap of believing someone when they talk about why God isn't real. Instead of standing up and giving every reason we know as to why God is real, many just sit and listen to their list of why God isn't real. Take for example the subject of being homosexual. More so every day, I hear many people buying into the lie that God made them that way for a reason, so they don't have to change and will be judged lightly on that subject. The more shocking thing that I have discovered is that it's more Christians than anyone who are beginning to believe this man-made lie.

I challenge everyone, including myself, to begin to stand up for what we believe. Sure, people may have different opinions, but if they do not believe in what the Bible states, then they need to be set straight. Instead of listening to why someone thinks God isn't real, we need to intervene with why God is! Remember, it's not the culture who dictates the church, but it should be the church who dictates the culture!
