Romans 2

 You and I don’t need to look far to see or hear how ungodly our world is or is becoming. Like the reading indicates, one could get depressed if we thought about it too much. But this could be a strategy by the evil one, polluting the culture to the point that Christ followers get distracted, tempted or discouraged to the point of giving up. At a softball game recently, I listened to two mothers sitting to my left with potty mouth, then overheard two junior high boys talk openly about their gay relationship with each other. Somehow, God gave me the grace to pray for both situations, not knowing any of these people. Who knows what God will do in each person’s life, but maybe that’s what we need to do more in an increasingly pagan world.
