Watch against conformity to it . . .in your dress,in your mode of living,in the education of your children,in the principles, motives, and policy that govern you.Do not grieve the Holy Spirit by . . .any known inconsistency of conduct,any sinful conformity to the world,any inordinate pursuit of . . .its wealth,its honors,its pleasures,its friendships, andits great things.Pray against the sin of covetousness, that canker worm that feeds at the root of so many souls!Pray against the love of dress, that sin that diverts the mind of so many professors from the simplicity of Christ, and takes the eye off from the true adornment!Pray against a thirst for light and trifling reading, that strange and sinful inconsistency of so many, the certain tendency of which is to starve the life of God in the soul, to engender a distaste for spiritual nourishment, for the Word of God, for holy meditation, and for Divine communion and fellowship. Yes, pray against the spirit of worldly, sinful conformity in everything!Reader! are you a professing Christian?

No; come out of it, and be separate.(Octavius Winslow, “Morning Thoughts”) HT: Grace GemsYou adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. James 4:4Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. Romans 12:1-2but be transformed by the renewing of your mindand that’s a beautiful thing!Soli Deo GloriaLenny1 CommentFiled under Lenny's PostTagged as Friendship, God, Holy Living, Jesus, Octavius Winslow, sin, the world, Worldly Livingby Lenny | May 14, 2014 · 3:00 AMDigital DiscernmentI recently had a discussion with a friend about Facebook and why I’m not on it.
