FAITHFUL!

FAITHFUL!

1 Cor 4:2

2 Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.

           In this insane age of mob rule and entitlement mentality, we have lost the meaning of the word faithful. It is here a Greek word, pistos, which means simply “trustworthy.” It is dependability, loyalty, and stability.

           What we are seeing in our culture and our politics is mostly the opposite. We see partisan agenda’s driving irrational decisions. We see opinions change with the direction of the winds. We see gaps in responsibility. We feel uncertain and insecure because the very foundations of stability are shaken. This monster is fed by a lack of accountability.

           For believers, faithfulness is required. We are stewards of the truth, the manifold wisdom of God. We can’t afford to alter the message to placate those who find it distasteful. It has eternal consequences so it requires staunch stability. Those of us who follow Christ make as many enemies as we do friends. It is the choice of the hearer. We can do no other.

           When we find ourselves quaking under the pressure we must run to that which never ever changes. We need an anchor of the soul. That Anchor is Jesus.

Heb 6:18-19

18 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;

Thank you, Dear Lord, that you are faithful to me. AMEN
