Bible-believers need to re-think the position many of them have accepted,
that it is our job to change the culture of the world. That bird has flown
and that war has been lost. Thankfully, that was never our job!
The Scriptures have always told us that changing the world to conform to
righteousness cannot succeed. For example, John wrote:
Don’t love the world, neither the things that are in the world. If
anyone loves the world, the Father’s love isn’t in him. For all that is in the
world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, isn’t
the Father’s, but is the world’s. The world is passing away with
its lusts, but he who does Elohim’s will remains forever. 1 John
2:15-17
We know and have believed the love which Elohim has for us. Elohim is
love, and he who remains in love remains in Elohim, and Elohim remains in him.
In this love has been made perfect among us, that we may have boldness in the
day of judgment, because as he is, even so are we in this world.
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has
punishment. He who fears is not made perfect in love. We love him, because he
first loved us. 1 John 4:16-19
The world is doomed - so says the Scriptures. That includes the country you are
from, whether America or someplace else.
Look to the Scriptures. As Paul traveled to Athens it
was not for the purpose of changing the Greco-Roman culture centered there.
Rather, he was bringing the good news of Messiah's Kingdom to whomever would
receive it. Not surprisingly, not many of the philosophers or polytheists
centered in Athens embraced the truth. While a few people were changed, on the
whole Athens was unaffected by Paul's visit. We have no Assembly of Athens
mentioned in Scripture, although a few individuals had received the truth.
Actually, the Greco-Roman culture of Athens impacted the culture of the western
world, and even the culture of the Church, far more than the Church ever did,
down to this day. Did Paul fail in his mission? Far from it! People were saved
out of the world for Messiah's Kingdom!
Doing the Father's will through the love of Messiah is the path leading to
eternal life. By contrast, changing the culture of the world, even if it were
possible, is of no eternal value because the world "is passing away." As we
continue on through the book of Acts to observe Paul and the other early
believers, we see that message again and again. Let's think about that as we
take in tonight's Tsiyon meeting. That's tonight at tsiyon.net, at 8 pm cst, for this
thought-provoking study from the book of Acts.
Blessings and good
health to you!

PS - Many believers continue to hold false hopes for the world, especially for
America. While I don't like it either, I see that the growing darkness is a
harbinger of doom for the country, and the world, just ahead. Thankfully,
Messiah's own are no part of this world, and He has made a provision for us, if
only we will believe and act according to His will.
