I wrote you in my earlier letter that you shouldn’t make yourselves at home among the sexually promiscuous. I didn’t mean that you should have nothing at all to do with outsiders of that sort. Or with criminals, whether blue- or white-collar. Or with spiritual phonies, for that matter. You’d have to leave the world entirely to do that! But I am saying that you shouldn’t act as if everything is just fine when a friend who claims to be a Christian is promiscuous or crooked, is flip with God or rude to friends, gets drunk or becomes greedy and predatory. You can’t just go along with this, treating it as acceptable behavior. I’m not responsible for what the outsiders do, but don’t we have some responsibility for those within our community of believers? God decides on the outsiders, but we need to decide when our brothers and sisters are out of line and, if necessary, clean house.

Sin. Lies. Hypocrisy. They’re a sad part of the human experience. They’re a sad part of the people of God. In Acts 5, we see the early believers come face-to-face with them, and insights into them within ourselves. This 5-day plan continues a journey through the book of Acts; the Bible’s gripping sequel of Jesus at work in the life of his followers as he expands his kingdom to the ends of the earth. It’s a journey on what it means to be a Christian. It’s a story in which you have a role to play.

How do we as Christians live in a secular culture, much less one which is become more and more godless each day? Larry Osborne's book Thriving in Babylon shows us how Daniel did it using Hope, Humility, and Wisdom.
