We live in a fallen world and these things will happen.  Unfortunately, they will get worse before the end of the age.  God’s Word is very clear on this and we are not to fret as followers of Jesus.  They killed Him!  Jesus said, “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first” (John 15:8).  So, let us not be surprised by that.  Our mission Jesus gave us has not changed— “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age” (Matthew 28:18-20).

But… we are called to “Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, expose them. (Ephesians 5:11).  Light dispels darkness and exposes the deeds done in darkness.  How are you and I bringing light into areas of darkness?  We are not called to do everything, but our Lord has called us to do something.  What is He calling you to do?  Then do it!  Yes, Dear Father, when You make it clear what You would have us do in any of these areas, please help us to be faithful to You and obey by the power of Your Holy Spirit and in the authority of Your Son Jesus.  Yes, may it be so! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKkbIZtqhyQ
