The American concepts of law and justice were conceived by and constructed upon the Bible. All historians and every sociologist of history recognize this fact. When laws are broken, and justice is absent people’s hearts grow cold and evil is aroused.
The recent assault of hubris and the incursion of lies and deceit by both congressmen and directors of our nation’s highest institutions, not to mention leaders of business and media, has had a chilling effect on all of us. All of this will go down in American history captured by the catchphrase “Hunter” the most recent and revolting illustration of the corruption of law and the distortion of justice.
Christians from the birth of the Church evidenced in Acts 2 and experienced throughout history, have most often found themselves in an unwelcoming environment encased with injustice instigated by evil thoughts and intentions. This should not surprise us. We are in a spiritual battle and the whole world lies in the lap of the evil one. (See 1 John 2:15, 5:19; Ephesians 6:13-17)
However, the church does not need a friendly cultural host to survive or thrive. Environment is not essential to be successful in making disciples of all nations. We need the power of the Holy Spirit to drive and direct us as we live in the midst of a lost and dying world.
I hope you sense both the significance of the danger and the supply of power we have as we abide in Jesus and experience the power of the Holy Spirit to guide and lead us as we negotiate and navigate our lives in the midst of our corrupt and confused world.
Today is like every day, a good day, if we know what to do with it.
Always remember, “Greater is He who is in you than he that is in the world” (I John 4:4)
