近朱者赤，近墨者黑。
I was listening to this cool live Christian web live everyday, softly at my workstation. The desire to praise God increased with it. Every paused from work was a time for me to praise or say a short prayer to the Lord. I am uplifted and refreshed every minute by the songs which sing of His greatness, His love, His guidance, His blessing, His guidance. The mere ‘spirit’ behind those songs brings a spring of joy to my soul.
But as Jesus spoke about, the reality of it, we are in the world. Hence, we are exposed and surrounded by things which may not be “uplifting”. So what sure we do? Do we join in and be like them, or should we stay away from them (like the effort of the monk)? If we stay among them, will we become like them and loose our saltiness? If we stay away from them, how are we going to be His salt and light?
Someone wrote: “A ship floating on the world’s waters, or a ship with the world’s water pouring into it through the holes.”How than can we be in this world and not of this world? Beside spending devotional time, what else?
