And God is allowing Light and darkness to contrast each other ever more plainly each day. Will we see it? Will we cling to the light and abhor the darkness? God is also contrasting Truth and lies, the Real and the counterfeit. Will you be a voice for Truth, or merely for intellectual gobble-dee-gook? The line-in-the-sand which man draws is very temporary, at best. God is drawing a line across his-story, across the ages. Which side will you be on?
The longer you try to straddle that line, the more painful it becomes. And if you stay too long on the wrong side, even due to indecision, the more difficult it becomes to move to the right side: it's a type of spiritual inertia.
The ground at the foot of the cross is perfectly level. Not one of us comes with bragging rights, even if we think we've been obedient. This is personal, because God is a personal God. We must humble ourselves before Him, and allow Him the opportunity to reshape us into what He originally intended. Apart from that experience, we remain a counterfeit.....without salt or light or life; good for nothing but to be trodden under foot of men.
