I don’t understand the fact that some Christians, those who should have an unquenchable zeal for the Lord, have about as much commitment to His cause as the typical American has for the World Cup. They respond to the gospel as if it were the “flavor of the day”, enthusiastic for the moment, but lacking in the steadfastness required by God.

We are fortunate in our day to receive the protection of the state as we practice our faith. However, too often Christians in our time lack the virtue to stand for God’s word, without compromise, no matter the cost. This is what God requires, and each of us must count that cost as we live for Christ.

If you offend me with boorish behavior, you may think, “Too bad for you!” But, in reality, you hurt yourself. You show yourself to be an obnoxious jerk, and appeal only to others who likewise suffer a retarded sense of propriety. And, you displease the Almighty God of heaven, who requires you to “be kind to one another” (cf. Ephesians 4:32).

Some idiots agree with us. We can’t help that, but we must be sure that we are not one of them! Truth sets man free (cf. John 8:32). It uplifts and ultimately saves mankind. It is also commonly wrested by men “to their own destruction” (2 Peter 3:16). The moral is… Don’t be a complete idiot!

So the question isn’t whether you want to be free to do your own will. The question is who do you want to be a slave of — a slave of “sin, leading to death”; or a slave of “obedience, leading to righteousness.” The freedom to flout God’s will, thus “self-dominion” is an illusion — one that will be shattered at the judgment day.
