Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is-
-his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:2
You are either for God or are against Him. You are either living in the light or living in the dark; serving God or serving satan. There is no middle ground with Christianity. There may be neutral zones with other things but not when it comes to the life of a believer. A believer of Christ means they have accepted Jesus Christ into their hearts, have committed their lives to Him and have confessed their sins and believed He has forgiven them. A believer follows the Word of God as His truth and there is no other. We believe in church, serving others, and fellow shipping with one another. We believe iron sharpens iron (Proverbs 27:17) therefore we look to gather with others that believe in the same principles for bad company can corrupt good morals (1 Corinthians 5:33). It is easier to drag someone down then to lift another up that is why we must date and marry evenly yoked partners and not think we can change them later. Only God can change a person but we must first seek a man or woman of God. The bible clearly states in 2 Corinthians 6:14 "Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?" We are not hypocrites or judgmental people that stand on soapboxes while putting others down. We do not think we are better than others. In fact, following Christ takes anything but ego. Controlling things on our own is no longer permitted, humility replaces pride, selflessness comes before self. We simply believe the bible is God's living Word and it is our compass for our life, for our decisions, choices, our everything.
