We are not called to follow social trends unless those things line up with God's Word and promote the advancement of His Kingdom. Pastor Lance affirms that God is still in control, in the midst of tragedy and a world gone mad. He urges believers to be heavenly minded, and to note that what we're seeing around us is indicative of a heart condition. Christians today have the incredible opportunity to show what redemption and a God-fearing life looks like. Are you representing the heart of God and displaying His opinion, or your own? Pastor Lance states that followers of God must have a spiritual posture and line up with God's Word, even as the Spirit is grieved by what's happening in America today. He stresses that God's children must value life, remembering that transformation and sanctification take time. A redeemed sinner's identity is in Christ alone.
