When one takes the name of Jesus and claims Christianity, it is a given that he or she has separated themselves from the worldly things and ways.  Remaining in the worldly ways or siding with the world and just tacking on the name of Jesus tends to give a mixed message with discontentment and confusion following.  We know that the Bible teaches that God is not the author of confusion. 1 Corinthians 14:33.  You see to be saved by grace means to be changed by the power of God and given the desire to do His will, joyfully and willingly.

Does not the Creator of life have the right to direct our life to His order?  You see, God has a divine order and we are to be a part of it, not a force against it! “What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price (the precious blood of Jesus): therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.” 1 Corinthians 6:19.

Our nation’s problems today are not from obedience to the order God has set before us, but from being out of order.  Sometimes it would only be fair if we would walk around with a sign on our neck that said “Out of Order” so people don’t get the wrong idea about God because of us!

I feel sometimes that some of the worldly authorities should have the same sign on their necks, seeing they fail to protect the obedient and spend their time protecting the disobedient.  This protection of the disobedient restricts the freedom of the obedient.
