How we see and respond to the world is our World View

Watching the drama unfold with Sarah Palin and the Republican party has brought home to me how important a secure and centered worldview really is. She has one. We are in the middle of a cultural divide. It has been going on for some time. The last gasp of western civilization will be slaughtered on the altar of tolerance. We will compromise and modify how we see the world until we won't recognize it any more and it comes to get us. In Romans Paul advises that we not let the world press us, conform us, shape us into it's mold. In other words, don't let the world so modify your world view until it is no longer recognizable. I'm concerned here about the Church, but I'm more concerned about well meaning Christians who want to have peaceful interactions with worldly people and not actually take a stand. Milquetoasts. What rankles the world system so much about the unwavering stand Ms Palin has and is taking is it seems to be without compromise. I believe she is right. Oh, that we had more of that. That we wouldn't be afraid to say what we mean and mean what we say. I wish more pastors and spiritual leaders would have the courage to stand up to those who seem to want or endorse compromises. I'm not talking about compromise on non essentials like Baby vs Adult baptisms, gifts of the spirit, or the nature of the Eucharist. I'm talking about standing for purity in godly marriage relationships (male and female), life unborn and otherwise, faith and trust in God over Government and being a person who stands up to unrighteousness where he or she sees it. I was recently in a heated argument with some people who I would consider friends. But our world views are polarizingly different. A person who doesn't know who he or she is might say, "well, all views are valid, you have your's, I have mine". To be fair, that's a nice thing to say but it's unkind to say so and it's not true. Some world views are simply wrong and it should be said when they are. Either you have the courage of your convictions and are willing to take the hateful slings and arrows or you aren't. It's OK if you are a coward; Or is it? I read somewhere that the fearful and cowardly will end up in the lake of Fire. Revelation 21:8. Maybe being a coward is a bad thing. It's time for Christians to stand up and stand for the world view they have been given by the Holy Spirit of God. Just like Sarah Palin is standing strong. We could take a clue. Standing for what is right according to what you have been revealed by the word of God might get your head cut off, but it will be worth it. Be bold, be strong, for the Lord thy God is with THEE!
