Talk about a wake up call. Between 8pm Monday night and 2 pm yesterday someone went into my shop and stole my cell phone. I think they also took the change in the cup.

It just goes to remind you that we live in a fallen world, and to lock your doors!

Christians need to be more dangerous, and I’m not talking about walking around with loud fashion, carrying weapons, or ingesting substances that make people question whether we are sane. What I am talking about is being dangerous to Satan and the World.

Those first few years when Christianity was just starting out, it was feared. The statement in Acts of the Apostles turning the world upside down was a statement in regards to the fact that Christians believed totally the opposite of what “normal” people did, and they were causing problems. The Jewish government followed by the Romans and on down the line persecuted and killed the Christians because they were “dangerous.”

Why were they dangerous? Because their allegiance was not to government or an idol made of hands (something pliable that could have its meaning changed). They were aligned with an objective, unchanging God and His Word. Thus the world, and its increasing desire to sin in “new” ways and then be able to moralize it, could not escape that there was a group of people with concrete beliefs of right and wrong.

We see it today. “Christianity” takes a real beating in public (from the “inside” and out) because of its beliefs of right and wrong. That’s why those on the inside want to change– or reinterpret –its core teachings to mean things it does not. Just look at the Episcopal and homosexuality.
