Christ Central

In a culture that has lost its 'moral knowledge', that has abandoned the Rock of Ages for the sand of men's wisdom, Christ still stands as the eternal One. Desire in our culture rules over truth, fact, reality. We have run hard after what makes us 'feel good.' This is an expensive choice, for our own eternal distiny, but also for the world that we leave our children and grandchildren. What we 'feel' outweighs what God says is right or wrong. No longer do our legal pundits look to the foundation of Christian ethics and morality to determine what is right or wrong. What the masses say, the broad way that leads to destruction, is the yellow brick road that our culture is travelling. God's voice is not only silenced and ignored, but rejected. Reality is, God is still God. Man comes and goes-like a vapor, another generation is gone and what we reject only stands to mock us for our ignorant selfishness. Truth may be trampled in the street as the Old Testament prophet proclaimed, but it is still truth. In this day of increasing darkness, may the body of Jesus Christ awaken from her slumber, repent, and begin to live and move in the power of the Holy Spirit. He will guide Christ's people in true holiness and righteousness so that we may shine like stars in this universe.
