Hello Friends,
A person’s philosophy is
how they see life; it includes what their moral standards are and what their
outlook on life is. It is very important that we maintain a good philosophy.
How we look at sin is very important. If a Christian believes that it is okay
to be involved in sin or to hang around the heathen, they will most likely be
involved in sin and will hang around the heathen. This is a very dangerous thing
for a Christian to do.
For most people, the
extent of their conviction is that they should be nice to people and should try
to be good; but there is so much more to it than that. Personally, I make it an
effort to read the Bible, to avoid sin, and to help other Christians grow. I
believe that this is what every Christian should be doing; that is my philosophy.
My philosophy has helped to keep me pure and morally upright.
Colossians 2:8 instructs –
“Beware lest any man spoil you through
philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of
the world, and not after Christ.” A person’s philosophy will cause them to
either do good, evil, or to be lukewarm. Please make sure that you have a healthy
philosophy.
In Christ,
Noah Brewster
Well said. The Bible tells us not only to abstain from sin, but to call sin out when we see it. As Peter Marshall (1930's/40's Presbyterian pastor), proclaimed: there is no place for "mamby-pamby" Christianity.
