I was asked by Ligonier Ministries to write an article, encouraging Christians to remain faithful even when the world seems to be in turmoil (is the world ever anything else?). Here is what I wrote...
The world is changing fast. Ideas that once seemed solid are crumbling. Morality is treated like soft clay, moulded and reshaped to fit the mood of the moment. In such times, Christians can feel pressure to either blend in or stay silent. But Scripture doesn’t call believers to blend in. It calls us to stand firm. It calls us to build on the rock, not on sand (Matt. 7:24–27).
The church has always lived in changing times, even if today’s changes might feel more aggressive and chaotic than before. But our hope has never rested in the stability of society. It rests in the stability of God: “I the Lord do not change” (Mal. 3:6). The world may reinvent itself every decade, but God does not evolve, and His truth does not expire. It does not need updating. It does not need rebranding. Truth that shifts with the culture isn’t truth at all—it’s marketing.
