Oh no, not I!
Just because the world does disapproving things, doesn’t mean you should also nor does it make it right. There are many things we do to condone the bad behavior of another. We can close our eyes, gives excuses for them, and even support them by purchasing goods illegally copied or obtained. Break the chain of sinful behavior. Be honest with another about your convictions. Refuse to buy that new television, cell phone, or dvd that came from a source on the street, a friend of a friend, or even your own relative. You may as well have been part of the original bad deed yourself. You are better than that. Begin today to stand up to those around you and let them know who you are, what you stand for, and be clear about what you will not tolerate or be a part of!
Inspired by Luke 11:47-51
Jesus said to the lawyers, “Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets whom your ancestors killed. So you are witnesses and approve of the deeds of your ancestors; for they killed them, and you build their tombs. Therefore also the Wisdom of God said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and persecute,’ so that this generation may be charged with the blood of all the prophets shed since the foundation of the world, from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, it will be charged against this generation.”
