we must NOT EVER straddle the fence, BUT, we all do, at some point in our lives.
and this gives us, IF WE ARE HONEST, a mirror to look in.....
how many times have I said, 'Oh Lord, IF You could just give me a little more money, I could DO.,,,,,,,.?????
but,
it is written, 'you cannot serve God and mammon', so my DESIRE should be quenched, if it is NOT, then,
I have given myself OVER to the god of this world.
we Cannot be Partakers of the table of devil and the table of the Lord.'
we Cannot walk-down TWO PATHS, saying, I am walking down the straight and narrow.....and
the path of destruction at the same time.
this is the simplicity of Christ - either we walk in righteousness or we walk in sin!
we can ONLY serve ONE MASTER, for by whom a man is over-come, that is his master.
so,
may we let our True Master be The Master of Truth, Righteousness, and Goodness.
a child can understand but it takes someone very brave to walk in that lonesome valley by himself,
no matter the cost.
