Download Jehoshaphat: Worldliness, Book 17 AudioBook Free
Jehoshaphat: Worldliness talks about the life of this Old Testament king of Judah and promotes us to look at ourselves in the light of his problems. When a Christian enters into reference to the earth, he lays himself available to be "persuaded" by the earth - to type in upon an unchristian plan of action. "Keep thyself genuine" is a very important admonition for all of us all. "Come out from included in this, and be ye distinct." Why don't we ask ourselves, can our relationship with the earth go together with this fellowship with God? This is really the question. The man who conforms to the earth would be the enemy of Christ and the enemy of Christ's people. It can't be otherwise. "The camaraderie of the world is enmity with God; whosoever, therefore, will be a good friend of the world is the enemy of God." How totally was this proven in the case of King Jehoshaphat! He became the good friend and companion of Ahab, one of the most evil kings ever sold. The start of evil is like the making out of water. Small origins lead to fearful results. Dear Christian listener. Why don't we, with the Lord's help, endeavor to get rid of the world's effect and purge ourselves from its ways. We have no idea how insidiously it creeps in upon us. "Take heed what ye do." "Come out, and be distinct." We can not, by any likelihood, merge ourselves up with the earth and allow ourselves to be governed and led by its maxims and concepts without suffering in our own souls and marring our testimony.
