We’re so afraid of not being like the world, of not fitting in. The devil wants us to fit in to the world. He will do everything he can to make sure we don’t have changed lives. So we swear, we drink, we get angry, frustrated, resentful, and bitter when we don’t get our way, we worry, we’re greedy, we strive, we work towards the pride of life, you name it, just like the rest of the world does.
You will be so messed up if you think you can be conformed to this world as a “Christian.”
This is not what Jesus has for us. He wants us free from the world and all of its trappings – traps kill. Jesus died to give us the opportunity to come out of the world by living free in Him, by doing His will, by believing and letting His Word live in us right in the midst of this world.
Thanking and praising God in all things,
Mark
