James 4:4 “know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God”
The line of demarcation between the world, and the believer is becoming increasingly blurred as some adopt the prevailing concepts and practices in the secular realm. But true repentance, that is after the godly sort, produces a very stark difference and great change in those who allow God to do His work in the heart on a continuum.
[The Desire of Ages pp 821] The apostles and their associates were unlettered men, yet through the outpouring of the Spirit on the day of Pentecost, their speech, whether in their own or a foreign language, became pure, simple, and accurate both in word and in accent.
Thus, as Laodiceans living in an age where so much is pitted against righteousness, let us take stock of ourselves by the grace of God to see if we may have inadvertently slipped from our first love, into that condition of luke-warmness, by which the essentials of the Christian life have become more of a drab, format rather than a living breathing experience.
Galatians 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
