You Should Withdraw Instead Of Being Vexed Like Lot = II Peter 2;6-9
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



II Peter 2;6-9
And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds; The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:

II Thessalonians 3;6
Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.

I Timothy 6;4-5
He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings; Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

II Timothy 2;19
Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

Romans 12;9
Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

Psalm 37;1-5
Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the LORD: and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in Him; and He shall bring it to pass.

AMEN

Believers not separating themselves from the world is probably the greatest sin in this day and age.

We are living in the "day" referred to in Isaiah 4:1 "And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach."
Isaiah is talking about those who want to be called "Christians" but do not want to come to Jesus on His terms (John 6:35) and be "clothed in Christ" (Galatians 3:26-27, Ephesians 6:11, 1 Peter 5:5 & others)

Many believers trust that they were instantaneously saved because of something they said or done, but do not realize that the fruit you bear dictates what tree you are of (John 15:5). If a believer is comfortable with friends, tv, movies, and music with vile language, fornication, and other sins they should consider if they are truly part of God's vine and seek His intervention.

Most churches nowadays don't just plant and water and trust God for the increase (1 Corinthians 3:6) but have incorporated all types of world activities to grow their church (Rev 17:2). Swinging the church doors wide open to the world at the worlds level may seem a good business strategy, but if you don't hold members accountable to repentance, and excommunicate those in ongoing disobedience, then it's possibly just giving people a false sense of peace and safety.

1 John 2:15 "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him".
