As Christians, we shouldn't be surprised by the world's standards(sexual immorality, abortion, etc-these things are "natural" to them). The problem is not the world; unbelievers are carrying on as they always have. The problem is Christians adopting the standards of the world, so that we are barely distinguishable. How can we tell the world to behave godly, when we who profess to know the truth aren't walking in it ourselves or either shirking our responsibility to warn and exhort unruly Christians. We have allowed so many things(homosexuality and other sexual immorality, immodest dress, alliances with religions who walk not in the truth) to come into the church under the guise of "tolerance". As the old folks(mine) would say, "Sweep around your own front door." And, as the Bible says, remove the beam from your own eye first.

Here I see Christ in His glorified, exalted state. This evokes godly fear, awe, and praise in me. I must see Christ as He is-son of Man and son of God who lived and walked among us. Because he is fully human , He is able to sympathize with my weaknesses and serves as the faithful and great high priest. Because He is fully God, He is to be given all honor and glory. He alone is to be worshipped.

Hi, My name is Pat. I recently moved from Oregon to Tennessee with my husband and four children. I have always wanted to do a study of Revelation (w/out the slant towards one viewpoint or another). Recently my 7 yr-old was reading from Revelation and asked me a few questions. Through this study, I hope to answer more of her questions and gain encouragement and increased faith for all of us.
