DAILY READINGS: 1 Kings 3; Jeremiah 11; Ephesians 4:17-32
Be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Romans 12:2
Compromise and conformity to the world is the frightening condition of many professing Christians today. They seem to think that holding orthodox views gives license to dabble in Sodom like Lot did. In doing so, they remain destitute of the power and joy that is available to the victorious Christian. When the believer is overtaken by these things, all serious thoughts of God are banished. Lord, deliver us from this growing evil—a sinful conformity to the world. —Milton Haack
Take the world, but give me Jesus, all its joys are but a name;
But His love abideth ever, through eternal years the same. —Fanny Crosby
