I will not be brought under the power of any. 1 Corinthians 6:12
Things that other Christians are free to do, not wicked in themselves, can be a snare to you. Anything that grips and holds your interest, influencing your decisions more than the Word of the Lord, has you under its power. A harmless game, fought out on a handset or on a playing field too easily can become an obsession. We may say we can stop any time but we don’t. Food is a necessity but we may habitually snack. We have to work but may become slaves to our occupation. In this world we cannot be true disciples without discipline. —C. F. Anderson
Midst this world’s confusion, speak, O Lord to me,
Guide me with thy counsel, let me follow thee. —Alfred. P. Gibbs
