A MINOR IN THE MIDST OF MAJORS
Today the Christian Message is being demeaned by the media, lampooned by the entertainment industry, and mocked by the majority of progressives. Christians are considered to be iniquitous and out of touch with the truth of the age, they’re considered to be no more than the mystical Neanderthals of the false theory of those who love their exalted Evolutionism.
Today egalitarianism is preached and practiced among the masses and includes every ethnicity, culture, and creed with the exception of Judaism and True Christianity. Even the Islamic heresy that parades itself as a religion of peace; but is responsible for untold thousands of deaths, murders, and equal rights violations is afforded the hospitality of the egalitarian elitist with no true decry of the root causes of its injustices. Everyone is afforded their civil rights in a global policy, unless of course you hold to the truths of the Christian Bible and practice its principles in public and witness the gospel message with unwavering resolve.
It is at this point one becomes a true minority in the face of the majority, egalitarianism takes a back seat to the prejudice harbored in the rebellious hearts of those who say they’re fair minded toward all people’s rights. This is where egalitarianism is exposed to be an impossibility in this present reality. Why? Because as long as there is the agency of original sin which has been the inheritance of every succeeding generation from Adam, there will never be the possibility of true equity. Why? Because the carnal appetites of the human nature may be tamed for a time, but will never be vanquished through the means of human religion or discipline or intellect. It may be subjugated for a time but sooner or later it is unleashed in all its vileness, of which hatred and prejudice fueled by pride and jealousy are key components.
In stark contrast the Christian is born from above, they’re a new creation which are conforming themselves into the likeness and express image of their Creator. They lean to the arm of the Lord and daily walking in the Sprit of the life and liberty, ever increasing in spirit while ever decreasing in the flesh. It is because of this reality discernment opens the eyes of the Christian to understand the truth, to see the reality of the destruction of false concepts, philosophies, and so-called sciences that contradict the truth of God’s word. Once that rebirth takes place the heart is changed and love for mankind is engrafted, but not without the benefits of the virtues of godly reason and resolve. A true love without prejudice is the result of that regeneration, but a righteous hatred for sin and its products of destruction . This is what separates Christianity from the Majority, and makes it in the terms of the so-called egalitarian civil rights activist a Minority.
Jesus said: (17) "Thus I command you to love one another.
(18) If the world hates you, remember that it has first had me as the fixed object of its hatred.
(19) If you belonged to the world, the world would love its own property. But because you do not belong to the world, and I have chosen you out of the world--for that reason the world hates you. John 15:17-19 WNT
One problem with much of Christianity is that many strive to be loved to the point of compromising the message. Christians like the Christ can love those whom hate them without compromising and be eternally blessed for their love and obedience.
(22) "Blessed are you when men shall hate you and exclude you from their society and insult you, and spurn your very names as evil things, for the Son of Man's sake.
(23) "Be glad at such a time, and dance for joy; for your reward is great in Heaven; for that is just the way their forefathers behaved to the Prophets! Luke 6:22-23 WNT
Brethren keep the Faith today by practicing the love of Christ which is engrafted in your heart through the regeneration of the Holy Spirit. Love in the face of adversity, love in the face of hatred, love without preference, but love without compromising the truth. Keep this Fruit of the Spirit of our Faith, and that Fruit of our Faith will keep us right, reasoned, and resolved. Selah!
Shalom, Agape, & Amen!
