Unstained??

Do you wake up to Christ? Fall asleep thinking about Christ? Think about Christ through your day?

Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world. (Jam 1:27 ESV)


That is why I don't have cable. That is why I don't listen to the radio. Not that there's anything inherently sinful with cable or radio. But 98% of the stuff on both is put there by Godhating children of wrath. The devil prowls, and even the seemingly innocuous becomes sinister when seen in this light. They want to drag us down with them, they want us to be like them. They want us to be of the world, not just in it. And we cave to their desire in the name of 'not offending' and being 'loving'. What love is this that sits idly by and even plays along as the world spirals faster and faster to hell? What does it say about us when we're willing to go along with everything that sinful man adores? We need God's power, we need it to fight. We are in a war, and most of us don't even realize it. God help us all.

“Of two evils, choose neither” - Charles H. Spurgeon
