Resilient Faith ~ GIGO

The obvious truth of the present age is we live in a post-Christian society.  In fact, we live in a post faith society.  As our society by and large is going more and more resistant to any idea of a transcendent being or God.   What is the church to do in such times?  How are we to resist the cultural trend of leaving the faith?  How are we to effectively reach out to people who have in certain since been inoculated against faith?

We must learn to once again develop resilient faith, deeper faith, and active faith in Christ.  We must develop a faith that is more than ideas and words but actually lived.  Something we see lived out in the historical life of Daniel in the Bible.

This is what we begin to discuss today in our new five-part series Resilient Faith.  As we discuss the first thing we must learn to adapt to as modern believers in a post-Christian society.  We must learn what we input into our life matters in regards to how we will live out our life of faith.  GIGO stands for Garbage in, Garbage out, and if we fill our lives with garbage this is what we will get.  Rather, than filling our lives with the garbage of this world let us choose to rather fill it with the fruitful life of Christ.
