On the Dire Need for the Imitation of Christ

August 12, 2010 by Timothy Dalrymple

Continued from Page 3

So let the renewal of our nation start with us. Let it start with us starting again with Christ. Let us turn away from the idols that infest our lives and our culture and renew our commitment to Christ, to live Christ's life, to yield our lives to him so that he might come to live within us. If we are concerned that our economy has entered a permanent decline, that our political discourse is locked in animosity and sin, and that our culture has lost its way, then let us follow Christ and be the Church and be the salt and light of the world, restrengthening the character of our people and renewing our witness to the transformative power of Christ.
