Growing Faith in a Hostile World
By: Debbie W. Wilson
Have you ever looked at the condition of our world and wondered how you, your children, and your grandchildren can walk with Jesus when so many evil influences surround us? The world is a hostile place for Christ-followers today (John 15:18–21).
Just as the serpent slid into Eden and seduced Eve with his lies, predators slip into our homes, through cyberspace, and snatch the hearts of those we love. Schools mock Christian values. Workplaces indoctrinate believers to replace biblical love with political correctness. Media channels censor views that don’t agree with their agenda. Global persecution and atrocities inflicted on people of faith occur in countries all over the world and make headlines every week. People we love misunderstand our devotion to Christ.
In addition, we have a spiritual foe who browbeats us with doubts and fears. We need help—and hope. Shallow confidence collapses under such opposition, but hungry hearts dig deeper to uncover a faith overflowing with courage. Little faith in a big God blossoms into conviction to sustain us through our battles and setbacks.
HOPE FROM THE PAST—LESSONS FROM NOAH
Most of us associate Noah with charming depictions of an ark full of animals. Do you remember why they were on the ark? Noah walked by faith in an age of complete depravity (Gen. 6:5). He offers practical encouragement for us today.
