James 4:4 and John Wesley.Romans 12:2
You are called to show,by the whole tenor of your life and conversation,that you are renewed in the Spirit of your mind according to the image of Him who created you; and that your rule is not the example or will of man but the good,and acceptable,and perfect will of God.
Friendship with the world was the topic of this great man of God (JOHN WESLEY).
It was also the topic of James the apostle. (James 4:4)This is a subject that seems to elude preachers these days.The famous John Wesley noted that up to his life time it had not hardly been mentioned,and that it had been hundreds of years.
In America today we are not warning the church that to be in bed with the world is to make ourselves an enemy to God.This is a short sermon by me.....expressing what i as others have a carnal side and i must make myself feed my spiritual side in order to know the perfect will of God. The Holy Bible is loaded with Gods words to me.I find that the more i read it,the more the Lord shows me.The point being made here is that i am called to show that i have been renewed in my heart and mind by the one who created me.To always seek the Lords guidance
through prayer and the reading of his word.This will separate me from the world view and show me the world through Gods eyes.If i do this it will draw me ever closer to the one who died for my sins as well as the one who will judge all men in the end for the things done in their bodies.That one being Jesus Christ my Lord.As men exercise the love of pleasure rather than the love of God,lets rededicate our lives to something that never has a season. That never grows old.Pray for a deeper love of Christ and a deeper desire to study his word and serve him in a local church,your community,your job etc.
