‘I can’t be like the world and the sooner I accept this, the better for me and for them. It’s better I come out clean and make my stand known so that the world can stop thinking that I may one day be like them. This hope is what keeps them suggesting and approaching and enticing; hoping that I will one day see reason and join their gang. But I cannot join the world. The world is not in the material things that is usually seen as the world. The world is a psychology and a way of thinking. The world is a manner of life and a scale of priorities. The world is a pursuit and a purpose that is not in tangent with heaven’s priorities. For these reasons, becoming aligned with the world is becoming a traitor to my God. I cannot give up the heavenly cause and the divine pursuit to degrade myself into the low lights of earthly living. The world has its king and I have mine. I am not angry at the world until it tries to insist I conform to its ways and bow to its king. I am of another kingdom and I bow to that King. I will make war against anyone who will try to push me into a mould that I do not belong to. I have tried that kingdom. It was pleasurable for a season until the bitter tastes of its unforgettable emptiness became overbearing. This was when the sweet fragrance of Christ became known to me and I to Him (although I was always known to Him). Now that I have been delivered from the futility of living for the world and by the world’s standards, how can I in all good conscience again return to the very vomit that I had thrown out of my system? Am I a dog to so do? I and the world are irreconcilable. The sooner the world understands this, the better for both of us. The sooner I settle forever in this conviction, the better for me.’
