Been watching videos of this pastor all day yesterday and today..............this verse stood out to me he mentions in this video "1 Peter 1:14 "As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:"
What this world about ----------------------- the lusts of the flesh, the pride of life 1 John 2:16 "For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world." You have some pride of life cause you have a big house and a big car..................the big house and the big car maybe that in of itself pry ain't the issue, but if you have the "pride of life" over that over owning those things that is "not of the father, but is of the world".
This world is about.............look at me and my pretty car, and my pretty nails, and my cute shoes 2 Corinthians 6:17 "Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you."
This brother, he's talking about even like christian music being imitating of the world and not such the thing. I do tend to agree with him, the thing is sometimes if you listen to some these christian bands out there they do potentially blur the lines of what is holy, what is good (the band members being a bit still conformed up to the world, in the way they act, in the way they look). There definately is a potentially bluring of the lines in the body of christ Isaiah 5:20 "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" - but this is not the case with all bands, and really honestly I am not a male pastor ok...............so this is not what the men preach hence I am super unpopular..........they preach don't have mercy with anybody. But I feel we need to have mercy with one another --- because we are in a "process" of overcoming the world....................getting victory over the world takes time.
Gods word it does say come out of this world, be ye separate, touch not the unclean thing, which I think the unclean thing could be many things...............definately is porn don't take a rocket scientist to realize that's unclean, worldly music lady ga ga some her songs YIE, fashion maybe isn't unclean in of itself but it's a definate part of the world I've pegged as being. Come out, come out from that!!!!!!!!!! THE WORLD! 2 Corinthians 6:17 "Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the uncleanthing; and I will receive you." Don't stay all buddy buddied up with the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DON'T DO THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
