THE IMPORTANCE OF CHOICE
by Kathy Pegram

We no longer want to be a separated people for Christ. We want to be loved by everyone, and if that means lowering our Christian standards to be accepted and fit in, we are willing to do it. We have been brainwashed by society, and we don’t have enough of the desire for God in us to fight our way back to the lifestyle God intended us to live. It’s time we set some Godly standards for ourselves. We need to start being more careful of what we allow to enter our hearts and minds.

We can’t seem to comprehend that our minds are not like a computer, we can’t input trash into our minds and then delete it. It stays there eating away at our moral integrity, and our walk with God, opening us up to the filth and degradation of the world. What we feed our heart, mind and soul is what will come out in our talk and actions. It will affect the life God has called us to live.

Isn’t it time that we stood up for who we are and what we believe? Isn’t it time we begin to question what we watch, what we listen to, where we go, what we say, who we hang around with, and what we are posting on social media? Honestly, there are posts I read, and pictures I, see posted on social media that makes me wonder if people even know about the work of sanctification, and if they even understand what holiness is. I’m talking about “Christians,” not sinners. God is only going to be tolerant with us for so long. He has let us dabble with the world; He has let us play how close we can get to the world. But, just as God set a standard for the Israelites and judged them, He is going to judge us. We need to take seriously the fear of sin’s consequences and take an incentive step toward repentance and Godly living.

“They were not at all ashamed, nor did they know how to blush. Therefore they shall fall.” (Jeremiah 8:12)
