Why is it that Christians cannot seem to please the world? Everything we do is met by the world's distatste. It's simple, the world loves its own and promotes it.
Christian ideals are fast losing popularity in the world, in fact before what you are doing as a Christian can get substantial recognition it must have passed through fire from all quarters.
That is why as Christians we should stand firm. Christianity is not of the world, it is from above, and cannot be promoted by the world. When Christians begin to seek approval from the world, destruction becomes imminent. Our testimony is to do the will of the Father not the will of our friends.
Jesus knew exactly what He was doing, He did not need the approval of men and didn't seek to please them. Why then should we as faithfuls to the faith not follow our Leader faithfully.
In our walk with God and work for Him we must be weary of the dangers of loving the world. Popularity and wealth should never be our motive for fellowshipping with Him because these things the world seek after.
As followers of Jesus we are called to singleness, that is, our entire being must be focused on Jesus only always. Those that try to please the world in their service to the Master inevitably end up being eaten by the world.
If you desire greatness in God's kingdom and eternity with Him, approval of the world should be of no relevance to you.
Shalom.
