~Breakdown of our Society~

By Dewey E. Fox

And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. (Joshua 24:15 KJV)

The breakdown of our society is a direct result of liberal social policy. So what’s the solution? One writer said; “First and foremost Christians must start behaving like Christians.” As Nancy Pearcey so aptly put it, “We must let go of the worldly motivations that drive us, praying to be motivated solely by a genuine desire to submit our minds to God’s Word? And then use that knowledge in service to others.”

She goes on to say, “Outsiders must be able to see for themselves, in the day to day pattern of our lives, that we do not treat Christianity as just a private retreat, a comfort blanket, a castle of fairy-tale beliefs that merely make us feel better.” In order to achieve this, people of faith have got to stop serving two masters—God and the world. Jesus speaks of these two masters in Luke, He said; "No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth." (Luke 16:13 NASB)

You can’t have one foot in the world and one foot with Jesus Christ, you cannot have God and the world. It’s one or the other. The worldly serving is wealth, that’s the way we are graded or looked upon from the secular world.

Jesus doesn’t care a thing about the world’s standard of wealth. “He cares about you - Everything in your life!”

We have a choice to make! Joshua even speaks of it in chapter 24;

Each of us has to make a choice! No one else can make it for us. “It’s one on one folks, God has no grandchildren.” “It’s you and God!”
