March 1, 2025 -- Philippians 2:14-15 -- Living that invites questions

People loved by the Father, in the Spirit's power: Sh'ma ~ hear and obey Jesus!

Do all things without grumbling or disputing, that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world…
Philippians 2:14-15 ESV
 
If you watch vlogs on evangelism strategies, you’ll find street preachers who teach you a Christian must go out and question others. As you question them, they will discover truth and either seek Jesus or turn away. It is the reverse of the bible. Notice how the life of the Christian is to be light to the people of this world. When people are walking in the darkness of their sin, whoever holds true light is an instant draw. People turn to the light with their questions.
 
The world is twisted and perverse. That is a fact. Your contemporaries will curse out this politician and vent against that law grumbling and disputing about many things. You however, as a soldier of the cross of Christ, live in the same messed up world, but you know that Christ is the King. His justice and His rule are the basis of your confidence. You do not need to join in the way of sinners because you walk the path of righteousness as children of God.
 
You are not ignorant of the world’s troubles. In fact, all the rantings of the world and the plotting of world leaders against the Son of God cause you to go deeper into prayer. You know their end is destruction and ruin awaits them. Jesus will return with all His holy ones. The truth of God’s law and the perfections of His ways will be so brilliantly obvious and so superlatively displayed that no one will refute it. Then the devastating justice of His judgments will cause those condemned and those who are appointed for life to cry out, “Jesus, You are just and true in all these things.”
 
Children of light, you see the abuse of power all around you. Pray. You hear many curse and grumble and even shaking their fists against the very god they don’t believe in. Live as a child of light. You may find your own mind and heart are wavering with churning seas of doubt creeping in. Memorize Scripture. Let the Holy Spirit confirm to your heart the rock-solid truth that Jesus is near, His return is at hand. Inevitably people will be drawn to the light of Christ shining out from you. They will have questions. Be prepared to answer.
 
Prayer
For behold, those who are far from you shall perish,
you put an end to everyone who is unfaithful to you.
But for me it is good to be near God;
I have made the LORD GOD my refuge,
that I may tell of your works.
Psalm 73:27-28 ESV
