We live in a world where the majority of the people reject the God of the Bible, thoroughly reject Biblical Truth, and live their lives without Christ in their hearts. The Bible calls us a "peculiar people," and to most of the world we are extremely peculiar and in many cases hated. They hate us because we remind them of their sin. They have made the conscious choice to live their lives apart from Christ and in rebellion to the Truth of His Word, and those who embrace the Lord and His Truth are seen as the enemy. 

Those who choose to live in rebellion to God and His Word are always on the offensive, marketing their rebellion to the masses, finding great comfort and strength in others who have also chosen to live their lives in rebellion to God. They are loud, bold, aggressive, and use all of the modern tools of communication to reach the masses 24/7 with their lies. Because we have the better percentage of two full generations out there who have never been to church, have no foundation of Biblical faith in their life, the lost masses have become easy prey for these tools of satan who propagate a lifestyle of rebellion to God, rejecting Christ's love and the Absolute Truth of the Bible. 

The very first thing those who choose to live a life of rebellion MUST do, is minimize and try to discredit God's Word. You see the Bible is God's inspired, inerrant Word, representing Absolute Truth, and is our final authority in all matters. It is the very book that condemns them! That is why you will always hear those who have chosen to live in rebellion to God endlessly mocking and trying to castigate the Bible. The fact is, the Bible was written by God Himself, through the pens of men who were operating under His Divine inspiration. It is 100% accurate in ALL matters of life. Those who deny it will always attack it, but in the end, God's Word will still be standing.

The biggest problem we have in our world today is not those who choose to live in rebellion to God and His Word, it is those who know Christ as their Savior! While the haters of God without shame stand in the public square declaring their false beliefs, we, the people who know the Lord have chosen to hide behind the four walls of our churches and in the comfortable Christian subculture we have created to separate and isolate ourselves from the non-believing world. God never said to isolate yourself from the world, but to be the "salt and light" of the world. How can you be a light to the world when you are hiding your light under a bushel?

The reason the enemies of God have such a loud voice in the world is because they are speaking for the most part unopposed! Nobody is standing next to them declaring the Truth of God and exposing them for the liars they are. Satan comes to kill, steal, and destroy, while Jesus came to give life and life more abundantly. Sadly those who serve satan are more passionate about serving him, than those who serve the Lord are about serving Him! 

BUT to "fit in" most young adults try to be "politically correct" and they don't share their faith or live their lives as strong Christians. Instead they try to be like all the others around them. Parents remind your children not to be fooled. These schoolmates and people of the world are NOT nice people, they are NOT your friends, they are NOT your buddies, they are deadly serious in taking as many people to hell with them as they can.

People of Faith don't have the stomach to stand up to these bullies and usually back down, leaving them to propagate their lies to the masses unopposed. All of the abusive language, the name-calling, the mocking, can't put one dent in the Truth, doesn't mean for a second God doesn't exist, and never changes the fact that each person will die one day and at that moment the only thing that will matter is do you know Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior!

Parents teach your children to BE BOLD. God will give you and your children boldness and courage. Why should the servants of satan be so bold with a lie, and we who posses the Absolute Truth of God's Word so passive with that Truth? Remember, it is not YOU they are rejecting, it is Christ. So fear not, when it comes to those in your family, those you go to school with, those you work with, those you meet in the course of your life who have chosen to deny the Truth and reject Christ. 

Stand up to them with the Word of God, knowing that in the end His Truth will still be standing. Also, God never told you to hide your light, but to let your light shine. God puts people in your life every day who are hurting, lost, and needing His love. Don't neglect the opportunity to share that love with them as God gives you the opportunity. The fact is the world is sharing its lies with them 24/7, you may be the only person they come across that day who will give them the words of life! 

Now more than ever the men and women of God have got to stand up and be heard. If those who serve satan can do it, why can't we? The lost masses are out there, looking for answers. Satan is out there 24/7 giving them answers that will lead them to eternal damnation. It is our job as those who know the Lord, know His Truth, to bring those masses the ONLY answer there is . . . Jesus Christ!
