DON’T TEAM UP WITH THOSE WHO ARE UNBELIEVERS

DON’T TEAM UP WITH THOSE WHO ARE UNBELIEVERS

Currently we find ourselves living in a world gone mad. High on Satan’s agenda is gay marriages, and sad to say that many countries throughout the world have voted in favor of this including South Africa. What has God to say about this? High on God’s agenda, this is seen as an abomination. Who has given man the right to change God’s word to suit his depraved lusts?

I encourage the reader of this article to turn to Ro-mans 1:1–32 especially verses 26 & 27. Proverbs 16:17 has a good word of advice for Christians “THE PATH OF THE UPRIGHT LEADS AWAY FROM EVIL; WHOEVER FOLLOWS THAT PATH IS SAFE.”

Furthermore 2 Cor. 6:14 -18 warns the Christian of being mismatched with unbelievers. “DON’T TEAM UP WITH THOSE WHO ARE UNBELIEVERS. HOW CAN GOODNESS BE A PARTNER WITH WICKEDNESS? HOW CAN LIGHT LIVE WITH DARKNESS. WHAT HARMONY CAN THERE BE BETWEEN CHRIST AND THE DEVIL? HOW CAN A BELIEVER BE A PARTNER WITH AN UNBELIEVER? AND WHAT UNION CAN THERE BE BETWEEN GOD’S TEMPLE AND IDOLS? FOR WE ARE THE TEMPLE OF THE LIVING GOD. AS GOD SAID: I WILL LIVE IN THEM AND WALK AMONG THEM, I WILL BE THEIR GOD, AND THEY WILL BE MY PEOPLE. THEREFORE, COME OUT FROM THEM AND SEPARATE YOURSELVES FROM THEM, SAYS THE LORD. DON’T TOUCH THEIR FILTHY THINGS, AND I WILL WELCOME YOU. AND I WILL BE YOUR FATHER, AND YOU WILL BE MY SONS AND DAUGHTERS SAYS THE LORD ALMIGHTY.”

Church, no matter what Satan tries to dangle before your eyes remember the choice is yours, whether to accept or reject it, the onus is on you.

 

COME OUT!

Dear Family

Living life as a believer is becoming increasingly more difficult in some ways and in others, actu-ally easier. As our world spirals into anti-godliness and the doctrines of man, it can become more easy to see the difference between light and dark. On the other hand, unless we are rooted in the Word, unshakeably, we will find it more and more difficult to distinguish between what is right and what is wrong.

God’s condition for sonship is quite simple as found in 2 Corinthians 6:17-18 “Therefore come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you. I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.”

Almighty God leaves no room for a watered down life-style. Either we are for Him, or against Him. Running with the foxes and hunting with the hounds is just not what we are all about as believers. God is looking for a people who will not entertain the things of this world as desirable above Him. In fact, we read in James 4:3 “You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God? Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.” Ouch! Can’t get clearer than that!

Unfortunately we are being pummeled on every side to water down what the Bible says and to believe instead the popular feelings and philosophies of the day. Even large segments of the church have capitulated faith and adherence to the Word in favour of a liquidized religion which proceeds from the mouth of Hollywood. The angel of light is successfully blinding many believers. People who previously stood for the Word and even impacted Christianity in huge measures have been corrupt-ed and fallen from the faith. The Bible warns us that these are all symptoms of the last days.

The call to us is clear: “Come out.” Let’s not be found choosing to rather take an easy road and believe what man is saying just because so many are saying it. If God has said it then there is no debate. Modern man is no more entitled to sin than man in any other previous time. Either it’s God, or it’s not!

(Un)fortunately the choice is still ours!
