Hello friend,
In this day and age we
seem to struggle with being true Christians; we seem to struggle with cleaning
our lives up for our own good. God wants to help us, yet we just don’t seem to
understand the importance of abstaining from the serious, dangerous, immoral
and evil situations that we put ourselves into. We claim to hate evil, but we
give into it on a daily basis. 1 Thessalonians 5:22 clearly and bluntly says, “Abstain
from all appearance of evil.” I have yet to get to know someone deeply who at
least tries to follow this.
I think a lot of people
have a true desire to follow God, but we have too many open avenues for sin to
be let in, and it stops us from hearing God speaking. When you surround
yourself with Sexual films, Violent films, Sexual music, Violent music, these
are all evil things that we should be abstaining from. GOD LOVES US. IT IS FOR
OUR OWN GOOD! I think we also know too many people that pull us into
immoral/fleshly situations. That is why God tells us to KEEP GOOD COMPANY. If
someone convinces you to get into a situation where you will be subjected to
evil, chances are, they probably aren’t saved.
We all struggle with this
as humans, but we must stay strong. I pray that we can all obey God in this, and
that we can live a clean and morally upright life.
Your brother in Christ,
Noah Brewster
