For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions,
We look to what sounds good; what tickles our ears. Many go from church to church looking for what pleases them instead of allowing Holy Spirit to direct them. We say we are Christians and yet we do find ourselves caught in between the lure of worldly things and the hope of forever.
We spend time on both sides of the isle. And I not speaking about politics in Washington. One side of the isle I am referring to is our flesh and the other our spirit. We are about fun and that can lead us into many fleshly things.
We need the latest computer, cell phone, big TV, and vehicle. Our needs seem to be easily centered around things of this world. We spend our earnings and even go into debt to have them. Then we ask God in Jesus name to miraculously pay off our debt.
2 Corinthians 6:14 ESV
Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?
The more time we spend hanging with other committed Christians, the less the worldly things matter to us. Our conversation is God centered instead of world centered. The only game in town is the race we are in to finish our quest to be more and more like Christ finishing the race He has set before us.
