Thanks Pilgrim. It’s easy to complain, “get off my lawn”, “don’t tread on me”, and even a more general sentiment close to “look at how religiously evil society has become”, while our own hearts remain dark, cold and estranged from God. It’s easier to see the sin and estrangement of others without reflecting on our own true state and standing before God. Distractions almost prove too comforting. I still question and evaluate myself with a desire for further proof of gradual sanctification and possible renewal. And truly reformed churches that are properly centered in doctrine and practice are certainly hard to come by. So what are we truly standing for when we engage with society? I know some have it worse than others as far as their surrounding culture. But God never changes. That’s both terrifying and comforting.
