#8- A Small Group Living in Opposition to the Culture

It’s easy to read the news, scroll FaceBook or listen to a podcast and get really depressed about the state of the world. Seems like most men are just laying around not doing anything but getting fat. They’re just waiting for somebody to cut them a check.

But I always get encouraged on days like today when the parking lot is nearly full when I get to the gym at 5:15 am. It reminds me that here’s a remnant, a group of men who are still getting after it. The reason this matters is men who work out before the sun comes don’t waste their time inventing reasons to be offended or looking for someone to blame for whatever is not perfect in their lives. These men are too busy building businesses, careers, and families to be oppressed.

The men at the gym are part of a remnant, a small group living in opposition to the culture. These kinds of men are the ones standing in the gap to prevent us from being overrun by a culture gone to hell. A remnant is unafraid to go against the prevailing culture when that culture is evil and wrong. 

Are you part of the remnant or are you wasting your life going with the flow?
