Every so often, and it seems to be of increasing frequency, I have the urge to move to Russia and get away from western society. Of course, I realize that everyone has their sins, that every culture deals with (or ignores) their sinful predispositions, but western culture, I believe is so subversive, that I am seriously driven to get away from it.
So the question that comes up at this point is this. If it is valuable to mold ones life to turn away from sin, to seek after holiness and to love God with all of ones self, then the flip side would be true as well. The culture in which we live here in America does not encourage us to holiness. In fact, it does the exact opposite, that is, be comfortable and be distracted.
So if we truly value holiness, should we not do what we must to gain it?
