Every word of God is pure: He is a shield unto them that put their trust in Him. Proverbs 30:5
Postmodernism tells us there is no absolute truth. Whatever you believe is okay. Whatever I believe is okay, too. Whether they agree or not doesn’t matter.
But in this age of postmodern thought, we must contend with this basic truth: Truth stands alone. It doesn’t require human interpretation. When you present Christian Truth, a divine disturbance occurs. We cannot be neutral about real truth. If Jesus is God, then we must bow down and worship Him. If Jesus is not God, we ought to boot Him out the door as a liar and a lunatic. You must decide. There is no neutral ground. Either you are with Him, or you are against Him.
Pray for the hundreds of believers who are in prisons around the world because they did not stand on neutral ground. They boldly proclaimed Christ, knowing that doing so would cause them to be imprisoned or even killed.
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
