Stay The Course

You adulteresses [disloyal sinners—flirting with the world and breaking your vow to God]! Do you not know that being the world’s friend [that is, loving the things of the world] is being God’s enemy? So, whoever chooses to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. James 4:4 (Amp.) As believers we cannot have one foot in the world and one foot in Christ. We cannot be lukewarm. Yes, we are all a work in progress and evolve overtime. But there is a difference in struggling with sin and striving to do better and being fully surrendered to God. We should not be dibbling and dabbling with the things of the world just to fit in. We are meant to be set apart. Our walk, talk and lifestyle must look different, because we are on a different path. Don’t flirt with the things of the world or try to incorporate their beliefs and practices into your walk with the Lord. Stay the course, even if you have to sometimes walk alone. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon
