When we look at Acts 2, it is clear that God expected the Christian life to be a 4-D experience. It is active and engaged, not passive like the modern church has become, where we just get an education that we don't apply. We mock the Pharisees but we become like them when we focus on being perfect on the outside and turn lifeless on the inside. If our foundation is not on the Word, but is on being at the "right" church or other worldly things, we can't be authentic and weather the storms that will come. James 1:27 reminds us to look after orphans and widows and keep ourselves from being polluted by the world. Are we on the lookout for spiritual pollution of our souls? Have we, as a church, become polluted by the world or are we pushing back against it? How will we know? The Bible is our mirror - if we lay our lives against it, it shows us the answer to those questions.
