Come Out From Among Them

According to II Corinthians 5:17 we have been freed from the old way of life. In II Corinthians 6:14 Paul was not encouraging isolation from unbelievers. Rather he was discouraging compromise with their sinful practices and values. As believers we must maintain integrity as we live in this world. This is what Jesus Christ did when He was here on Earth. We must be sober (self disciplined) and vigilant (alert to the spiritual pitfalls) in order to successfully navigate this life. The enemy's biggest weapon is to keep us functioning in carnality; relying solely on our senses. Your history develops your character in order to catapult you into your future. You can't determine your future by your history. Your history does not have to follow you into your future unless you know that it leads to kingdom success. What does not benefit the kingdom, let it remain in your history.

Be well,

Pastor Hines
