To
fellowship the world is to walk in harmony with its ideas and to
conform to its ways. In this sense we may not love it, but must be
apart from it and in opposition to it. The way thus pointed out to
us is, in some respects at least, a difficult way, and a lonely way,
but it is the only way of peace and happiness. This world with the
lust thereof is rapidly passing away; it is hollow and unsatisfying
and eventually leads to disaster and ruin; but those who delight in
the Lord’s way have blessed communion and fellowship with Him. Their
joys come from a source which the world cannot comprehend. They live
on a higher plane, breathe a purer atmosphere and enjoy a holier,
sweeter friendship than the world could ever offer |
