We have bigger fish to fry. The problem in society today is not that people believe erroneous things about the Bible. If it was, we would all be in trouble, because I'm sure we all believe something that does not completely align with the true intention of the writing. The problem with the world moving away from biblical principles is that we don't live out what we preach. I heard a quote that says " the single most cause of atheism in the world today is christians, who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, then walk out the door, then deny them by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable. " If you believe, for example, in pro-life, then you must be pro ALL life, not just babies. This means you must love people in your church, be gracious to those around you, and be other-centered in everything. The founder of Salvation Army, William Booth, left a note for an anniversary. He is too sick to attend, so he sent a telegram not to be opened until that day. When the person who received it opened it, he found one word on it : others.
That is what the Salvation Army stands for today. No one denies that. they see the proof all around them.
Do they see the proof of what you are living for in your life as you live amongst them?
A wife. a mother. A pastor's wife. Above all, a Christ follower.
