Jesus is Lord, Everywhere

A friend was telling me about when she had to travel for work to a country in the east known for their millions of gods. She said it was a huge culture shock to be in a culture where their religious beliefs pervades everything they do. She was very conscious that worshipping many gods goes against her Christian faith, but she also didn't want to offend her hosts. She said she kept praying about how to navigate in that world and at the same time not compromise her Christian values.

I reminded her that while that eastern culture has a religious belief in many gods, our British culture in the west also has a belief in many gods, it's called secularism. Secularism has removed God from society, instead they believe in the gods of the self or ego aka personal truth, personal development and personal achievements.  

Christians all over the world believe in the one Holy Trinity God - the Father, Jesus Christ or Son and Holy Spirit. 

It doesn't matter what culture I find myself in, I know Jesus is Lord. ❤️
