"Our Sympathies Have Gone Rotten!" (Whose Friend Are We?)

"It’s so sad how "the pity (the sympathies, empathy) of this modern age goes out to Judas, not to Christ. Pity does not overflow for that lonely Nazarene who came and died to save and sanctify us, but for the one who hated and betrayed Jesus. In the same line of thought, some modern Christians, if they had lived at the time of The Good Samaritan, would have pitied the thieves and left the poor victim still lying on the roadside. Our sympathies have gone rotten! Anyone who is a friend of this age is an enemy of God; and anyone who befriends the enemy of God hates Jesus Christ." -- Oswald Chambers

"You unfaithful people! Don’t you know that love for this ⌊evil⌋ world is hatred toward God? Whoever wants to be a friend of this world is an enemy of God. Do you think this passage means nothing? It says, "The Spirit that lives in us wants us to be his own."" James‬ ‭4:4-5‬ ‭GW‬‬

Prayer: Jesus You are are The Friend of Sinners to save us from the world’s wickedness and even worse, never-ending Hell. Thank you. And Lord, help us to be Your true friends! Amen. 

HERE! Presence Matters Most!

No Invisible People! UNITY!
