Things that were once accepted as firmly part of our heritage and foundation as a nation are now ridiculed, publicly criticized.  Many believers see this as a time to rise up and be heard, be seen.  Many high profile ministries, Christian workers vie for exposure in the media to make a name for themselves to counter this attack of God&#8217;s enemy against His people.  But, what does the Bible say about our outward visibility?  Yes, we are to be lights in the world shining forth with the Word of light, but we need to consider Paul&#8217;s word to the Church in Colossians 3. &#8220;If therefore you were raised together with Christ, seek the things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God.  Set your mind on the things which are above, not on the things which are on the earth.  For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.  When Christ our life is manifested, then you also will be manifested with Him in glory.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/AudioObject\"><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"Colossians (Program #23)\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2025-01-05T06:20:20-05:00\" \/><meta itemprop=\"encodingFormat\" content=\"audio\/mpeg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Colossians (Program #23) - Christ-Our Life\r\n\r\nWe live in an age when Christians and faith in God and belief in His Word are under much outward attack.
