We are in a world of modernization and everyone is in a rat race to be relevant in the developing world. It is at this juncture where the church is losing track to the world. The line is very thin if not zigzag between the church and the world. i.e. between the regenerate and the unregenerate . This is what we are calling the TRENDS; a little of Christian practices, marinated with a little of worldly lifestyles. On Sundays we assemble in church for worship but there after our children are initiated into some cultural malpractices that profane the name of our Lord.
"Let your speech always be with grace seasoned with salt that you may know how you out to answer each one" (Colossians 4:6).
Within the Christian fraternity, testimonies are to be applauded for this is the language of the Kingdom of God and they bear a degree of worship, however the same is not felt when our surrounding changes, our language changes vulgar words are even directed to our dear ones. Our social blogs are full of secular expressions that beg for answers from the church.
What should we say now?
"You are the salt of the world; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lamp stand, and it gives light to all who are in the house" .(Matthew 5 : 13-16).
Be blessed as you meditate on these words.
