Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. Romans 12:2 NLT In our effort to be open, tolerant, relevant, nonjudgmental, accepted, and to fit in there are now very few differences between those that call themselves Disciples of Christ and the ones they are called to impact. We have been told as Christians that we must be open and more tolerant and not judge. The subtle erosion of compromised truth has overtaken and diluted our lives to be weak and powerless like the culture that surrounds us.

Not Open is a clarion call for us as Christians to live the full, satisfying, and most joyous life that comes from walking with and reflecting Jesus Christ. May we be open only to the things that God has placed before us and not bow to the subtle, almost undetectable compromises that have infiltrated our land, homes, and churches from the carnal culture in which we live. Not Open will help you detect the areas of compromise that culture has so cleverly woven into our lives and challenge you to live the powerful, life altering, and undiluted life that has been planned for you and your family through living and reflecting the truth of Jesus Christ and God’s Word.
