The winds of culture lead us, guide us, and move us along–unseen, but ever strong. If we do not discern–if we do not stand–will we not be carried away like chaff in the wind?
Will we not be tossed to and fro by the cultural waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes? Our faith will be shaken; our confidence will be lost.
I lift up my eyes to the hills.
From where does my help come?
My help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot be moved.
Psalm 121:1-3a
We are convinced of this because our hope rests in the unchangeable character of his purpose. We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul:
our God will hold us fast.
