The water in the ship

[Fragrant Grace]

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind,
that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Romans 12:2

Christian!
It is not the ship in the water, but the water in the ship, which sinks it.
So it is not the Christian in the world, but the world in the Christian, which constitutes the danger.

Anything which dims my vision of Christ,
or takes away my taste for Bible study,
or
cramps my prayer life,
or
makes Christian work difficult,
is wrong for me, and I must, as a Christian, turn away from it!*

See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
Ephesians 5:15-16

*John Wilbur Chapman - 19th century
