Daily Bread – March 11, 2022 (The Sixth Day – Genesis 1:24-31) 1 John 5:19 – We know that we are of God, and the whole world is controlled by the Evil One. Discerning The Influences Of The World Never before has the world been more at our doorsteps, and in many cases integrated into our lives, than through the current media invasion. It has become increasingly harder for God’s people to discern its unholy influence, and thereby, have no fellowship with it. The world and all that is in it has been brought into our lives, and is accepted as common and normal. Video games, television programing, internet, and social media have overwhelmed the lives of most everyone. We must be all the more careful that we do not allow the things of this world to contaminate our souls and draw us away from the life that is in Christ Jesus. It is more essential than at any other time that we practice the utmost care to make sure the we do not cross the line into those things which belong to the world into our everyday affairs: the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye, and the pride of life (1 John 2:15-17; 5:18). The world, its lusts, and all those who follow in its ways will pass away. The world is surely a dangerous and uncertain place. The world is a defiled and demonic realm – don’t treat it as harmless and normal! What is your attitude towards the world and all that is in it? Is the spirit of the world comfortable and acceptable to you? (Ephesians 2:2-3). Blessings, Pastor Mark Spitsbergen
