I know ill get some hard answers on this one but here goes,,,,
do we as
christians think we can live in the world and still receive the blessings from God?
do we think we can nibble from the devils table and still feast with God?
is not our life as a picture set out for all to see ?
will not the lost disect our life looking for fault?
and we are so blind we tell them they should not look for fault?
Diddnt the bible tell us not to let our good be evil spocken of ?
and in revelations . Jesus said i would that thou were cold or hot but because you are luck warm i will spue you out of my mouth?
the reason alot of people are loseing there power with God is there liveing to close to the devil,,,,it is high time we awake out of sleep and serve God out of a pure heart, God has told us you cannot get salt and fresh water from the same fountain, we cannot have God and the devil,, so choose one or the other

Yes, and all Christians i believe are daily a work in progress, daily my beliefs become stronger and stronger. Thank goodness our God is a forgiving God and he looks at our hearts and the sincerity or there lack of. We must strive everyday in every way to live our lives as a Christian. It is a difficult process at times more so than others. However, nothing is impossible with God! Have a great day, and God bless! That was a very thought provoking question, however, not difficult for me. Thanks for sharing.

This is an error known as donatism - the idea that Christians should congregate only among the righteous and abandon the world to the world.
But re-read the bible, if you have convinced yourself of this. The new Testament is a story of Jesus patiently going to the unrighteous and trying to make disciples of them, even unto death. Acts tells the same story - a church defiantly facing any and all persecution and going into the world in the hopes of saving it. How many towns was St. Paul beaten and thrown out of? And yet, had he taken the donatist road, he would never have been able to say to the jailer, "Do yourself no harm, for we are all here."
Jesus did not come for the well, for they have no need of a physician. We must pick up our cross and follow him.
Follow him through the world.

Correct.
If we live in sin we cannot say that we are Christians; if we try hard not to sin, if we pray and ask for HIS help God will help us, and we'll understand a bit HIS WONDERFUL LOVE!
"Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner."

Well stated, and 100% true. It is a fulfillment of prophecy though.
