Surrendering all, which is 'your reasonable service of worship' (Romans 12:1), speak the truth in and out of season. It is out of season right now and yet DESPERATELY sought for. The world is waiting.
Speak the Word and hold to the unadulterated truth, no matter how 'unfashionable'. Make truth 'fashionable' for the Christian once again. People are searching for hope and answers, and He is the only solution.
"For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus, who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds. These things speak and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one disregard you." Titus 2:11-14
Let us encourage one another daily, 'so that none of us will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.' (Hebrews 3:13)
Holiness matters. It IS a doctrine conforming to godliness (1 Tim 6:3), and Scripture is for correction and training in righteousness (2 Tim 3:16). When the Christian loses sight of that call and lives looking like the world, then 'the darkness' crosses that 'non-line'.
With no resolve (like Daniel resolved ahead of time- Dan. 1:8), the enemy has more room to go farther and farther and push the 'non-line' back, 'intruding gradually or stealthily, and taking away our authority, rights, or property'*.
May God's people rise up and clearly define the line, the biblical true lines, and fight for them.
