Should We Be Focusing More on Some Sins than on Others?

Culture influences Christians and pressures us to conform. This devotion explains why it's sometimes necessary to emphasize certain sins.

Recently someone asked why my devotions lately have focused more on certain sins than on others.

Great question.

I write about a variety of subjects (see below), but I do write more often about areas where we're experiencing increased anti-Bible propaganda. 

Our world is pressuring us to conform.

And many of us are also facing pressure from loved ones who are living lifestyles that defy God's loving commands. We're seeing Luke 12:51-53 played out in our own families, and we need encouragement to keep standing with Christ (Matthew 10:37).

If we share God's views about criminal lifestyles, it's unlikely someone will call us a Pharisee, a hater, self-righteous, or phobic. It's doubtful anyone will claim Scripture approves criminal activity. 

If we share God's views about sexual lifestyles or the sanctity of life, we'll likely hear all of those arguments. We need to be prepared so we can stand against the devil's schemes (Ephesians 6:10-18). 

Theft, dishonesty, and greed are all things we need to stand firmly against, but we aren't being pressured to promote, approve, and celebrate those things in the same way we're being pressured about sexual sins.

I'll continue to write about a variety of things that comfort, encourage, convict, and instruct us as believers. But I will emphasize the spiritual battles we face in our current world. 

We won't survive if we aren't strategically prepared. We must “be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power(Ephesians 6:10-18).
