It is fascinating to see the simultaneous rise in the esteem of sports and professional athletes along side of the rapid moral decay of our society - let alone the personal moral fiber of the athletes themselves.

There is no question if our world is accelerating in its greed – perfectly illustrated in our current economic situation. And no question as to our growing pursuits in moral debauchery – we need look no further than the proliferation of new laws from a mere two generations ago, and the massive overpopulation of our prisons for validation of this proposition.

I do not want to labor a point unduly or restate the obvious and agitate emotions unnecessarily. But in I want to ask a simple question. How is the Christian to deal with error? How are we to respond to false teaching and other such misrepresentations of the truth?

We are in a world that recreates a Jesus in its own image all the time. The common representation of Jesus is "passive and peaceful." A man who is always nice and sweet, even tolerant of sin. We have all kinds of people walking around with WWJD bracelets who have no idea what Jesus would do because they have no clue what He actually did.
