This Is It!

Joshua 1:7 "Only be strong and very courageous; be careful to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to right or to the left, so that you may have success wherever you go."

This is it!!! It is the end of June and what a month this has been! Let's make sure we truly close it out by not dwelling on things we cannot change as mentioned in our Pray Harder post. It is evident that a war of words have ensued via various social media outlets in regards to the Confederate Flag as well as the Supreme Court decision on marriage equality. In using the platform God has given us we here at Fearless Faith want to encourage everyone no matter their chosen lifestyle. Understand that the Government of the United States of America is for THE people (despite it being founded on Christian principles); whereas, God is for HIS people. The government is based on your rights as a citizen; whereas, the church is based on your beliefs as a follower of Christ. In America we are all treated equally (and I use the term loosely, VERY loosely) according to the governments law; however, under God's law we are treated justly.  

As believers in Christ it is not our duty to judge instead we are here to prepare people to face THE judge on judgement day. How do we do this? Definitely not by pointing fingers or crucifying people with our words and quoting scriptures against their lifestyle as if there aren't scriptures that go against some aspects of our own lifestyles. We are to lead by example showing the love that God shows us in our chosen sins (because we all sin or have sinned). Just as Romans 3:10 says none of us are righteous or blameless; therefore, we shouldn't act as if we are. No one willingly accepts things that are forced upon them, beliefs included (which is applicable to both ends of the spectrum), but we both would like our beliefs respected. Which is where we've found common ground. Agree to disagree WITH LOVE! I don't have to agree with or support your lifestyle but I can absolutely respect it as well as love you. God won a long time ago and love never lost because God is love.  

So, where do we go from here? We move forward not necessarily forgetting but definitely not dwelling on what has happened to us as a society, race, or church because it's obviously not the end just yet. Over the weekend we witnessed the young lady Bree Newsome in a courageous act of removing the Confederate Flag from the capitol building in South Carolina. No, this will not solve the problem but what it does is keep law makers and politicians aware that we are still aware and we are still fighting to progress. So although this month is over continue on your journey (spiritually, professionally, politically, emotionally, etc.) not dwelling on things that have passed but looking to things that are ahead.
