My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. 16They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. 17Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. John 17:15-17
How does a follower of Jesus live in this present day world without being tripped up? Do you hide yourself away and never go out into the world? The answer is no. “True holiness runs from nothing” was a quote I heard from pastor Creflo Dollar.
Holiness is being set apart for God. The present world has embraced some unholy lifestyles and those who speak up are called mean spirited. God loves sinners and all have sinned it says in Romans 3:23
You are to be ‘in the world’ but not ‘of the world’ so keep that in mind. Deep down inside of everyone I have heard there is a God shaped hole or basically a sense of right and wrong. Stand strong no matter what culture says is right. Don’t be argumentative but let the Holy Spirit bring conviction.
PRAYER: Father it is easy if a person immersed themselves in this world more than in God’s word. You hear things enough and maybe start thinking they are true. Help me stand strong against the rising tide of secular humanism and wrong thinking. I pray for those I know being swept under to be thrown a lifeline. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
