This Scottish boy stands while others bow. History is made by those who refuse to submit to tyranny.

Shabbat Shalom!

🕊️ Shabbat Shalom!

The land is yet ours, because we have sought the Lord our God; we have sought Him, and He has given us rest on every side.
—2 Chronicles 14:7

The closer someone genuinely gets to God, the more unusual they start to look to the world around them. Not because holiness is strange, but because our culture has normalized the very things Scripture warns us about.

We now live in a world where rebellion is celebrated, compromise is applauded, and moral conviction is treated like a problem to overcome rather than a virtue to admire. Sin no longer hides in the shadows - it’s marketed, defended, joked about, and even encouraged. Meanwhile, righteousness is increasingly portrayed as foolish, narrow-minded, or extreme.

But this shouldn’t surprise Christians.

Jesus Himself said that His followers would be different from the world because they no longer belong to it. The more someone begins conforming their life to Christ, the more their life naturally stands in contrast to a culture drifting further from Him.

While the culture glorifies pride, Scripture teaches humility. While the world celebrates lust, greed, revenge, self-worship, and endless indulgence, God calls His people toward purity, forgiveness, self-control, sacrifice, and obedience.

Darkness will eventually begin viewing light as abnormal.

Satan’s strategy has never been to make evil appear evil. It’s to make sin feel ordinary, harmless, entertaining, and socially acceptable - while making righteousness feel restrictive, embarrassing, or outdated. That’s why many people can openly celebrate greed, immorality, drunkenness, pride, and hatred without feeling uncomfortable, yet become unsettled by genuine holiness, repentance, or wholehearted devotion to Christ.

But Scripture repeatedly reminds believers not to measure truth by majority opinion. Wide roads are often crowded. Narrow roads are often lonely.

If following Christ sometimes makes you feel out of step with the culture around you, that doesn't necessarily mean something has gone wrong. It may actually be evidence that your mind is being renewed instead of conformed. The goal of the Christian life was never to look normal to a world that rejected Jesus.

Happy Shavuot! 🌾

At Mount Sinai, God gave His Word and established His covenant with Israel. On this same feast centuries later, the Holy Spirit was poured out in Jerusalem (Acts 2), empowering believers to proclaim His truth to the nations.
From Mount Sinai to Pentecost, Shavuot reminds us that our God is faithful to every promise He makes.

Why do I believe this?
Because the Christian life is a call to die daily to the flesh and to renew our minds so we grow to be more like Christ. A believer doesn’t serve the flesh — we walk by the Spirit. Anything that leads us away from God’s design, no matter what the culture celebrates, isn’t the path of discipleship.

The LGBTQ 🏳️‍🌈 community is full of people who are loved, valuable, and bear the image of God. That part is never up for debate. But Christians are not called to conform to the world — we’re called to invite people out of brokenness and into truth, through the power of the Holy Spirit and the truth of the Gospel.

Love every person.
Don’t love the things that separate any of us from God.
That’s what Scripture calls sin.
