Romans 12:1-2  I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.  (2)  And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

How many in the church today truly practice these commands? It appears that only a small percentage remain faithful to them. Everywhere we look, we see evidence of Christians conforming to the world rather than being transformed. This is evident when believers suggest that abortion or the support of it aligns with God’s heart. Can that ever be considered His perfect will? Paul explicitly defined what contradicts God’s will in his letters to Timothy, where he described the moral decay of the last days:

2 Timothy 3:1-9  This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.  (2)  For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,  (3)  Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,  (4)  Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;  (5)  Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.  (6)  For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,  (7)  Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.  (8)  Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.  (9)  But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.

If these verses describe what is clearly not God’s will, we must ask whose will they actually follow. The truth is they conform to the will of Satan. The influence of this dark spirit within humanity is clearly reflected in:

2 Timothy 3:2-4  For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,  (3)  Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,  (4)  Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;  (5)  Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.  

In these final days, God’s will is for us to distance ourselves from ungodliness. Someone might use the title of Christian, yet their actions tell a different story when they participate in pride events to champion their cause. We must remember that while God’s love for the individual is unwavering, His hatred for sin is absolute. A faithful Christian can be present at such a gathering to share the message of deliverance found in Jesus, and doing so is exactly what God requires of us.

Mark 16:15  And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

The world of the unsaved is all around us. The gospel is open to everyone but they won’t hear if you don’t do your job. Friend, you must be born again in order to participate, no matter what viewpoint you hold. Friend, if you are not born again, it is no coincidence that God has placed you here for such a time as this so that you may be saved if you are not already. Don’t you want to be a part of the Church when she is raptured into the clouds to meet Jesus?
