Perhaps the key thing to remember here is that separation from sin is a requirement for a close, personal walk with God. If we want to draw near to God, then we must not be yoked together with unbelievers; we must not touch the unclean thing. Our aim should be that we cleanse ourselves from all defilements and pursue a life of holiness. Holiness demands that we avoid partnerships, alliances, linkages, or relationships that would associate us with unrighteousness. “Come out from among them and be separate.” Read More ...
These biblical principles lead us to the conclusion that we simply do not enter into partnerships with or cooperate with any person or any organization that is unbelieving, erroneous, or false.

The main idea in today’s passage is that those who serve God must persevere under pressure. It’s easy to serve God when everything is going well. But those who serve God often experience great hardships as well as blessings. So we have to be able to endure and continue on serving God no matter what it costs us. Read More ...

C. Really, it’s only Christians who have the right to celebrate this holiday. Those who don’t know the Lord have nothing to celebrate. Jesus is not their savior. They are still lost, blind, and dead in transgressions and sins. They don’t enjoy any of the benefits that come from knowing Christ as Lord and Savior. They have no hope and are without God in the world. Read More ...
Our deepest sense of wonder should be reserved for Christmas celebrated as the coming of Immanuel, God with us. The marvel of the incarnation ought to captivate us during the Christmas season and throughout the year. Read More ...
