Creeping Principles

Have you ever felt like you just wanted to stop trying? It seems like it would feel good to give in to that anger and tell someone exactly what you think. Or sometimes you tell yourself something you want to do isn't really all that bad, not really. Or you say to yourself, "I have a right to do what Iq want, say what I want, go were I want, and pretty much be what I want to be.

This is all true in the since that we have the ability to make choices within our financial and physical capabilities. But often these kinds of thoughts come during periods of frustration or anger. The basic principles of the world are gnawing at our morals. We need to remember Jesus' warning.

"You are not of this world" (John 15:19).

Do not allow the world to creep its way into your heart.
