The old way has to go
So last night at church our pastor carried on with his series on ‘This means war’
This is such a brilliant series on spiritual warfare. He went on to state that Ephesians are split in to three parts, to sit in the Lord, to walk in the Lord and to stand in the Lord, and that these three things are the order in which we are able to defeat the evil forces with the blood of Jesus Christ.
One verse that stood out for me in the sermon was Ephesians 4:17
And so I insist—and God backs me up on this—that there be no going along with the crowd, the empty-headed, mindless crowd. They’ve refused for so long to deal with God that they’ve lost touch not only with God but with reality itself. They can’t think straight anymore. Feeling no pain, they let themselves go in sexual obsession, addicted to every sort of perversion.
If this is not really in your face, and you think that you can make this out as just another verse, then there is still a long way to go for you, as this pretty much tells you straight on that God does not like these things, and as a warrior in the kingdom of God, you have to put these things behind you.
