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!
