1 Samuel 20-21, John 9, Psalms 113:1-114:8, Proverbs 15:15-17
What God said to me – The cancel culture is not new – it is a weapon that has been used for centuries to quiet those who disagree with political or religious leaders or even society in general. When My Son, Jesus, healed the man who had been born blind from birth, the Pharisees interrogated him because his healing was on the sabbath. Then they called in his parents who dodged their questions because anyone who confessed that Jesus was the Christ was put out of the synagogue – for the Jews that was devastating because their lives centered around the synagogue and their religion. Their son was put out of the synagogue because his life was so changed by his encounter with Jesus that he refused to back down no matter what it cost him. As the end approaches, walking with Me will become more and more difficult. As society becomes increasingly ungodly and accepting of sin as normal, anyone who stands against it is in danger of rejection and cancelation and even physical attack. Count the cost. Are you willing to take a stand?
