We are living in a world that has set itself up against all that is righteous and holy and have embraced the opposite of all that Jesus Christ stands for.  Good is bad, righteous is wicked, and wicked is to be admired.  How can we as followers of Jesus (Christians) live triumphant in such a world?  Jesus' world was really no different that what we live in today.  Same desires and sins just done in a different way.  Jesus Christ through His death and resurrection empowered us to live not just above all the fray but to be triumphant in life.  Why? So that God would be praised and those around us would see Jesus for who He really is.
