Pop Culture versus Jesus Christ

I know this is a silly title for a posting, because nothing can stand against Jesus, but that certainly doesn't seem to stop them from trying. I was watching a movie the other night and I was struck by the way in which the Christian characters were portrayed. To say they were depicted as stupid would be an understatement. Dogmatic and legalistic, they seemed uneducated, unenlightened, and powerless before the witty and comical evolutionists.
This is not an isolated incident nor is the sentiment limited to the movie screen. During the last election cycle a representative or senator from Pennsylvania was caught on the record stating that his constituents were a bunch of folks clinging to their guns and their religion. They reelected him.
I guess I bring this up to alert my fellow believers that in the minds of many that we encounter, we are already marginalized due to our faith in Jesus Christ. If we are so illogical as to believe in God, we must not have anything of value to say or contribute. They are so wrong.
Take heart fellow believer! We know the Truth. He told us that if we seek Him we will find Him. Some will listen because they are seeking the Truth. We don't have to worry about the naysayers and know-it-alls of the world. Just keep sowing the seeds of Truth out there and the Holy Spirit will quicken it in the hearts and minds of those who are given ears to hear and eyes to see. Fight the good fight and run the race to the end. May the Lord richly bless you.
