Why Christian Living Today?
Welcome to Christian Living Today!
Solomon, the wisest man of all time, said, “In the multitude of words sin is not lacking. . .”. He also said, “. . .A word spoken in due season, how good it is!” While the air is thick with rhetoric, there has never been a more ‘due season’ in America than confronts us in the 21st century.
While many say Christianity is irrelevant and other call it is a false hope, the Apostle Peter reminds us, as Christians we have ‘. . .all things which pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue. . .”(2 Peter 1:3). Sadly the Church, by and large, has forgotten our heritage - our hope - our higher standard.
Thus, we write not to share our exceeding wisdom nor to ‘preach’ to the ungodly. While anyone is invited and encouraged to join in, Christian Living Today is directed first and foremost to Christians. The overarching goal is to “. . . warn those who are unruly, comfort those who are fainthearted, uphold the weak, and [to] be patient with all.” (1 Thess 5:14).
Since Christianity addresses every area of life, we will seek to do so as well. With Scripture as our guide, we will endeavor to apply the Word of God to all aspects of life - be that parenting, money, environment, work ethics, witnessing or even time management.
Many years ago C.S. Lewis said, “Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important.” This blog is founded upon the belief, Christianity is of infinite importance in every area of our lives.
We invite you to join in - share your thoughts. This blog is about Christians sharing with each other what it takes to live as a Christian in this present age. It is about applying Scripture to everyday life. It is about sharing the truths of God’s Word in ways which will inspire, admonish, and encourage.
Thank you for joining us!
