It is not easy to stand up for our convictions in an environment where ungodliness is accepted, to be the only one serving God in a given situation. We are called to stand out in a crowd by remaining devoted to God, regardless of how everyone around us might be caving to governmental or societal pressure. We consider the example of Mordecai who refused to kneel to the wicked Haman, remained devoted to his God regardless of the consequences, and God ultimately defended and promoted Mordecai against his wicked enemies.

Why did God call out the assembly of the church? What is the primary purpose of the Lord’s church? Our primary purpose is to glorify God in all we say and do. God chose out a people to salvation for the praise of the glory of his grace. Now that we have been saved by grace, we are called to live a life that others would see our good works and glorify our Father which is in heaven.

As with many biblical topics, not every time we see “the church” in scripture is it describing the same thing. There are primarily 3 dimensions of the church presented in scripture. First, the global invisible elect family of God called out in the new birth. Second, the visible church militant of disciples who have followed the Lord in baptism. Third, the local church body in our local communities which is where we primarily serve the Lord in our local communities.

In the midst of a severe storm, we are prone to act like the disciples and get afraid and to question God and even to question if Jesus even cares for us. In the midst of the storms of this life, we have to remember the promise of God in faith. Jesus has promised us safe passage to the other side in this life, and in the midst of storms, we must trust in God’s word and in God’s promise to not fret or fear during the storm.
