"No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money." Matthew 6:24
Not just money. You cannot serve both God and the Worldly culture. You cannot serve both God and modernity. You cannot serve both God and a political ideology. You cannot serve both God and.... you get the idea.
I am finally understanding what is at stake here, and what Jesus meant when He said, "If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also." (John 15:20)
Final thought for the moment is from Isaiah 5:20:
"Woe to those who call evil good and good evil,
who put darkness for light and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter."
