Greetings Dear Reader,
As I was pondering the year I realized that one of the
things that concerns me is the continued shift in what is seen as acceptable
and good in our culture. I do not expect
things to get better. That is not what Christ
followers are supposed to expect.
I do, however, need to be vigilant about the things that are
changing around me. Between a culture
that is ambivalent about rules and the acceptance of things that faith directly
declares wrong I must find the path through the year without being compromised.
This does not mean that I can reject those who disagree with
me. It does not allow me to condemn
others. I must also not allow fear of
things to guide my choices. The world
will change around me and I must consider how I will represent Christ in that
world without compromise and contrition.
As I walk through this thinking I have to consider the
choices culture makes relative to the absolutes of my faith. When they are in contrast I must always
choose faith. When the compromise does
not violate the principles of my faith I must give up my preferences if it
helps me be a better example.
Some of this will be hard but the truth and the right path
are what the journey requires. Walk with
me a bit Dear Reader and as always let me know that you think.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn
Mat 13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer
who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store.”
