Come Out

SCRIPTURE
2Cor. 6:17 “Therefore come out from them and be separate, says the Lord.

OBSERVATION
Living in the world and not being a part of the world is the challenge set before every Christian. We aren’t called to retreat to some mountain in order to remove ourselves from society but to live a Spirit filled life while integrated with the current culture.

APPLICATION
Francis Schaeffer wrote a book called: How then shall we live.
That question must be answered. I think verse 7 gives us a clue when we are told to have weapons of righteousness in both hands. We must keep our eyes on God and our hands involved in doing right things. As our eyes are focused on Jesus and our hands extended to help people in His name, we can live the Spirit Led life.

PRAYER
Lord, please show us how to be an influence in the world rather than being influenced by the world.
