Let's Go Back to the Bible

Seasoned Christians, It Is Time!

Modern culture has created a mold for today’s seasoned Christians, and too many are allowing themselves to be poured right into it.  Seasoned Christians are not wanted in our society today, so they are mocked, marginalized and maligned, in an effort to silence them and minimize their influence.  They are depicted as backwards, small-minded, bigoted, bitter, out-of-touch, judgmental fools.  And, of course, when a group of people are so negatively portrayed, who would ever have any respect for them or want to listen to them at all?  That’s the whole point of society’s attack against seasoned Christians!

Too many seasoned Christians have fallen right in line with these detractors and have crawled into their quiet corner, so that they do not draw any attention or offend their attackers.  And, if one of them happens to raise his head and speak up for Christian values and Biblical principles, he makes himself a human whack-a-mole target.

Seasoned Christians, it is time to be what God intended for you to be!  God’s seasoned Christians are like Lot, whose righteous soul was vexed from day to day by seeing and hearing of the lawless deeds around him!  God’s seasoned Christians are like Peter and John, who were more interested in obeying God than men!  God’s seasoned Christians are like Daniel, who held to and exercised his God-given responsibilities, regardless of what the law of the land did or did not permit!   God’s seasoned Christians are like Paul, who knew and exercised his civic rights to further the spreading of the gospel!  God’s seasoned Christians are like Silas, who was beaten and imprisoned for proclaiming Christ but was not deterred from his faith or his work!  God’s seasoned Christians are like Aquila and Priscilla, who took a stand for absolute truth, knowing that “close-enough truth” wasn’t acceptable to God!  God’s seasoned Christians are like Barnabas, who took it upon himself to be an encourager of brethren in the midst of a world full of discouragement!  God’s seasoned Christians are like the apostle John, who found unparalleled joy in brethren who faithfully walked in truth!  God’s seasoned Christians are like Onesiphorus, who often refreshed ones who were suffering various trials of life!  God’s seasoned Christians are like Gaius, who loved the brethren so much that he went out of his way to serve them!  Seasoned Christians, it is time!

Modern culture would love to never hear another peep out of Christians!  Whether it is popular or not, whether it fits the mold or not, we need seasoned Christians who will be what God designed for them to be!  The church needs you today more than ever!  If seasoned Christians will not take a stand for Christ and His truth, who will?  It is time!
