Christianity is "OUT of SEASON" in our country these days; it's not stylish or "in vogue" to stand up for your faith or walk around declaring that you believe in Jesus. In our culture these days cults are more popular.
Churches, priests, pastors, and parishioners, or those who carry (or are seen with) a Bible instead of a designer purse or a businessman's briefcase, are not flowing in "the mainstream of society."
TV and the media are taking "pot-shots" at Christians on a regular basis. Talk shows and news shows are slinging sarcastic stones and poking fun at Christians more-and-more regularly. Vampires, ghosts, and demons are exalted while The Lord (and His Son, Jesus Christ) are being made fun of and "put-down."
However, we (who are called by His name) are to stand up and stand out for Christ! We're to talk about Him, share about Him, and act like Him--"IN SEASON--or, OUT OF SEASON," as it says in II Timothy 4:2-5.
The world's growing darker because fewer believers are turning up the LIGHT! The flame of their faith is flickering due to fear or neglect. We're to let our light be seen (in our lifestyles) . We're to share the gospel --share from our hearts, for "out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks." [Matthew 12:34; Luke 6:45]
Remember the little children's song, "This Little Light of Mine?" Remember to "let it shine"--"all around the neighborhood"--just reflect His love!
