Live in Unity, Live in Holiness

I, therefore, the prisoner for the Lord, urge you to live worthily of the Calling with which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love....there is one body and one Spirit....one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and one Father of all...so we are no longer to be children, tossed back and forth by waves and carried about by even wind of teaching by the trickery of people who craftily carry out their deceitful schemes. But practicing the Truth in love....no longer live as the Gentiles do... Put on the new man who has been created in God's image...in righteousness and holiness that comes from truth. (Ephesians 4:1-24)

Despite the things we see, despite the things we hear, despite the way folks may despise our beliefs and lifestyles, we must stay faithful to the TRUTHS of God's Word. Nothing is new today. Since the writings of the Old Testament, there has been the most wretched of sinful practices. The difference is God's grace . . . his patience is being taken for acceptance. 

God still calls sin what it is and will still judge us all for our actions. Don't fall for the tactics of Satan and his agents. Trust God at His Word and, as Jesus did, love people to the Truth. Then, if they continue to choose the lies, we must walk away. But do not give in . . .
