Are we living a life unspotted from this world? Are we raising our children to do the same? What kind of example are we?
Jeremiah 5:7 How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots' houses.
Jeremiah 5:8 They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbor's wife.
Jeremiah 5:9 Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
Jeremiah 5:10 Go ye up upon her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end: take away her battlements; for they are not the LORD'S.
This sounds like the state of our nation and our churches even.
Jeremiah 5:8 b :every one neighed after his neighbor's wife.
My son pointed this verse out saying ''men with carnal lustful hearts look at other mens wifes ( at church and beyond ) and admire them instead of their own wives, and it's because of all the carnality and spiritual adultery with this world and it's system.
Jeremiah 5:7 How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots' houses.
Alot of church's look like a harlots house, they commit spiritual adultery, because their hearts are carnally minded. They commit adultery in their heart's and mind with the immodest sisters in the church, the sisters dress immodest and play the harlot. They are so deceived, they think this is normal and even Godly. These people are faithful to church, they tithe, read their KJV bible and even win souls to Christ, but they are adulters with this world, it's system, and it's outward expression. They justify their sinful ways by saying well I'm not as bad as the drunkard, or the woman in a very short mini skirt, some even think they are modest because they wear a dress or skirt instead of pants, but if you were to put her up next to a modest sister she would look like a worldly woman, with all her compromise, ( make up, (even though light), jewelery, (even though small), hair do ( even though it is longer than a mans), dress or skirt ( worlds fashion or trend, possibly with a slit or form fitting, her top also). This is so sad how deceived christians are, but worse than being deceived they are carnal and prideful and even when presented the truth they cannot hardly change. They are slaves, cigarette smoking is easier to quit. What a shame. If people could just get a hold of God, really believe He is real and worthy to be lived for and served. Then they would have victory in Jesus. But they have been sold a lie and it looked pleasing to them, it looked easy, so they excepted the carnal easy way and put the christian label and language with it. A christian who has forsaken this world and it's ways can see right through the facade they notice the contradictions the compromises, the deception in it all, the worldly phrases that come out... like, cool, whatever, phrases that you notice all worldly people saying. You now they must learn this off TV, movies, or from hanging around worldly people or worldly christians.
May the Lord keep us pure unspotted from this world......
James 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
