Compromising Christianity

The old adage "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not to thine own understanding" carries tremendous weight for a New Testament Christian. As believers, do we believe what God says is true about who we are? Have we or have we not been made the very righteousness of God in Christ?

When someone says that America is or isn’t a Christian nation, does that statement make it so? Americans wondered the same thing in 1892. In the aftermath of the Civil War, the country may not have felt or looked like a Christian one.

Seek the Right Kingdom!

There is no doubt about the importance of this next command. Jesus made it clear that keeping it should take first priority among all of the things we seek after.

Many verses compel us to seek the Lord. Presumably, it's something I should and can do all the time. What then does Isaiah mean by that added phrase: "Seek ye the Lord while He may be found" (Isaiah 55:6)? Could it be that I'm not as in control of my life and my time as I think?
