Slowly, ever so slowly, society has been seducing professing Christians away from Biblical virtue.
What was seen among professing Christians 50 years ago as lewd behavior is now being seen with increasing acceptance into what’s been being called a new shifting normal.
This shift away from Biblical virtue, once seen as a desire of the professing follower of the Lord Jesus Christ, has been largely replaced, across the generational lines, with a wide sweeping acceptance and promotion of debauchery.
The follower of the Lord Jesus Christ, as defined by the Bible, must keep themselves on the alert.
Here are some things you could do to keep yourself from “falling asleep” while called to be alert.
- Read the Bible: This discipline cannot be over looked. The reason many professing Christians have a problem with being seduced from Biblical virtue is because so many professing Christians aren’t reading their Bibles.
- Believe the Bible: Another reason there can be such success over the professing Christians to abandon the commandments of the Bible is because they don’t believe the Bible to be the only accurate source to know who God is. This is a contributor to why more Christians don’t read their Bibles today; If you don’t believe the Bible to be the authority of God then there is really no desire to even want to read it .
- Fear of the Lord: When there is no fear of God, foolishness becomes normal behavior. The Bible claims that the beginning of wisdom and knowledge is the fear of the Lord. When there is no fear of God, people will no longer believe the Bible to be true and when people no longer believe the Bible to be true they will quit reading it and when people stop reading the Bible (and churches stop preaching/teaching the Bible) we are now ready to be seduced from Biblical virtue and live with and at peace in that seduction.
What are a few things you should take a close look at?
- Your Entertainment: Entertainment is enjoyed because it is something we desire. If your entertainment is driven by things the Bible warns for the believer to stay away from then the professing believer has to do one of two things; Change the things you are entertained with or stop reading your Bible. Sadly, most choose to stop reading their Bibles.
- Your Friends: Friends are a kindness of God. If your friends are not influenced by a healthy hunger and thirst for righteousness then they will be feasting on the dung pile of filthiness. If you find your friends are hungry and thirsty for debauchery then the professing believer must do one of two things; Change your primary influencer (friends) or stop reading your Bible so you can start telling yourself how good it is that you have close friends who don’t follow God. Sadly, most choose to stop reading their Bibles.
- Your Desires: The desires of our hearts are likely the best place to look closely at. We will do what our heart desires. This is why so often you hear people say to just “follow your heart”. According to the Bible, your heart can’t be trusted. You have to direct your heart or your heart will direct you. The professing follower of the Lord Jesus Christ must learn to discipline their heart to want what is holy and righteous or stop reading your Bible. Sadly, most choose to stop reading their Bibles.
The Bible instructs the follower of Christ to test themselves to see if they are in the faith. Let’s try this out.

Test yourself here Christian.
- Will you attend for “entertainment” purposes? What does this say about your entertainment? Have you read your Bible on this matter?
- Will your friends be attending or promote this as just silly fun? Will you say “the performers are really talented and you just enjoy good talent” to justify your hunger and thirst for unrighteousness? Have you read your Bible on this matter?
- Will you spend your time and money to laugh at what God declares unholy activity and somehow not have the energy (really desire) to study your Bible this week, pray with other Christians, gather for worship of God as a set-apart people?
Apparently fewer professing Christians live in the fear of God
