The world of today is having a powerful influence on many Christians when it should be the other way around.
As disciples and believers, we need to be the salt and light of this community. Some, however, are allowing the world around them to throw water on the candle and leave them as empty salt shakers.
How can you tell when or if this is happening to you? When you are doing less and less work to glorify the name of God, it is happening. When one is studying God’s word less and less, it is happening. When your interest in what is going on in the family of God begins to sag, it is happening. When we begin to offer foolish excuses for neglecting the spiritual things in our life, it is happening.
The apostle Paul says, “Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary.” (Gal. 6:9).
