Tonight at Bible Study, we discussed the 13th chapter of Luke. In verses 22-30, Jesus instructs His listeners to, “Make every effort to enter through the narrow door because many will try to enter and will not be able to…”
What does this mean?
Well, for one, it means not following the crowd – not conforming to the world.
One of the gals in my study mentioned the recent Miss USA pagent and the to-do with Miss California’s final question. Here is a clip, in case you missed it:
Now, a little background is in order.
Carrie Prejean (aka Miss California) was raised in a Christian home and attends San Diego Christian College. Although she hails from a state that has become known as one of the most liberal in our country, she had the courage to do her own thing and make a stand for truth.
Kudos to her for not compromising her values for the sake of a temporary crown. Surely God will grace her with a permanent one in heaven. By answering the question the way she did, I’m sure she’ll have a few extra jewels in it to boot. Her crown will never tarnish.
It is my prayer that her example will inspire other Christians to stand up for their beliefs in whatever situation they might face. Her’s was one of the most public you can find, and yet she did not waver.
What a testimony!
