Wholly Follow the Lord!

   “And the LORD heard your words and was angered, and he swore, ‘Not one of these men of this evil generation shall see the good land that I swore to give to your fathers, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh. He shall see it, and to him and to his children I will give the land on which he has trodden, because he has wholly followed the LORD!'"  ~Deuteronomy 1:34-36

How much can it be said of American Christians that we wholly follow the Lord? How often do we take a stand against the world, or speak out against the status-quo? Are we too afraid of critique, punishment, or ill-repute? Let us be few among many in a stand for truth and the Gospel. Let us be aliens among our home town, and despised by the world. Are we going to stand idly by frowning upon the corruption of this world of ours, or are we going to stand up and present the glorious alternative that has been made available to all? Let us wholly follow the Lord.
