How to Live

Titus 2:12 NLT 
We are instructed to turn from godless living and sinful pleasures. We should live in this evil world with wisdom, righteousness, and devotion to God.

Now that is no simple thing. First off the godless living and sinful pleasures part. What God considers sinful pleasures and what the world considers sinful are no where near close. Just look at living arrangements today. Acceptable practice today is to practice sex as a sport and to live together without marriage. Even to have children out of wedlock.

It is all about convenience rather than commitment. Guess is like having a Beta relationship.. Once the bugs are ironed out we can go for the all out install and then install patches along the way. If the patches don't work well enough we can always bail on the marriage and find someone else.

Wow. What is acceptable in the world today is far from acceptable by Father God.

Many think the criteria for being a Christian is attending a Christian church. It is not about where you go to church it is about believing in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. But how many unbelievers do just that and think everything is rosey?

Then there is the junk we allow our minds to be wrapped up with. We watch movies and TV shows the portray godless living and listen to vulgarity and watch violence so much it becomes normal behavior to us. The content is convincing us that sse out of wedlock is normal and homosexualty is just a norma a lifestyle.

There is not living on both sides of the street. If we really did live in this evil world with wisdom, righteousness, and devotion to God we would not watch those shows and would live life as the Bible teaches. We would not cross over to the other side no matter how much peer preasure we might feel.
