Reality of darkness we live in

06 Dec Reality of darkness we live in

The culture in which we live is characterized by spiritual darkness.

🎯Sadly, even believers become so accustomed to the dark that they feel neither shocked nor shamed by much of what goes on around us.

🎯Perhaps we see the sin but don’t acknowledge it as wrong, or maybe we just don’t notice it anymore.

🎯For example, throughout the Scriptures, we are warned of and told to abstain from impure behavior, lustful passions, and evil desires.

🎯Though we don’t feel comfortable talking about it, we must consider what immorality might look like today—whether it’s adultery, pornography, or relations outside of marriage—and be prepared to confront it.

🎯 The darkness is blinding us.

🎯 But while we cannot escape our dark society, God has provided everything we need to live in the Light of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

🎯And through His indwelling Spirit, we are adequate to face every temptation and choose what is good and pleasing to Him.

🎯We have to grow to a stage where we become uncomfortable in the darkness around us; ask the Lord to shed His light on our lives to reveal any compromises or hidden sinful desires.

🎯Then receive His forgiveness and the power to walk in His ways.
