Listen to the latest 60 second episode of Integrity Moments with Rick Boxx
During my final Graduate School of Banking summer, I was a new Christian. My midwestern peers noticed a difference and seemed determined to draw me back into drunkenness and debauchery.
One evening, my peers decided to visit a strip club. It suddenly became their mission to ridicule and pressure me to join them. I locked myself in the bathroom until they left.
1 Peter 4:3 says, “For there has already been enough time spent in doing what the Gentiles choose to do: carrying on in unrestrained behavior, evil desires, drunkenness, orgies, carousing, and lawless idolatry. They are surprised that you don’t join them in the same flood of wild living—and they slander you.”
As Christians, we will be slandered because of moral restraint, but that’s part of honoring God.
