Walking Humbly

How are we to respond to social evils and immorality? This is a huge question. Unfortunately, too many of us aren't even aware of it. We see society accepting things that are clearly contrary to the Word of God and we scream at the top of our lungs, No! Acceptance of homosexuality and homosexual marriage, abortion, euthanasia, pornography, child abuse, human trafficking…The list is endless.

The trouble we have is that while we see sin for what it is, we spend too much time focusing on the sinner,and in the wrong way.

Yes, these things are wrong and they should not be sanctioned. But attacking the sinner is like throwing the baby  out with the bathwater. 

As emissaries of the One True King, ought we not behave that way? 

Micah 6:8 says 

He has shown you, o man, what is good
and what the Lord requires of you
But to do justly,
To love mercy,
And to walk humbly with your God?

Its a question. What does the Lord require of you? The world loves the darkness. We are to be the light. But in truth and love.

We don't have to compromise our beliefs, but we don't have to compromise our love for the lost either.
