Trail Mix - 6.5.19

June 5, 2019 - “Avoid the very appearance of evil,” Paul writes. We live in a world that is watching for every misstep that we make. The fact that we have liberty in Christ does not give us a license to do as we please. All the NT writers exhort us to walk in the light, to walk carefully, to walk honestly, “that whereas they speak against you as evil doers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.” Don’t give the enemies of the Lord an occasion to blaspheme because of our conduct.” S. E. Trail

My prayer for us today is for a fresh realization that we are children of the King and should conduct ourselves like “Kings Kids!”

Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. KJV

2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

“A terrific explosion occurs in a gunpowder factory, and once all the mess has been cleared up, and inquiry begins. One of the few survivors is pulled up to make a statement. "Okay Simpson," says the investigator, "you were near the scene, what happened?" "Well, it's like this. Old Charley Higgins was in the mixing room, and I saw him take a cigarette out of his pocket and light up." "He was smoking in the mixing room?" the investigator said in stunned horror, "How long had he been with the company?" "About 20 years, sir" "20 years in the company, then he goes and strikes a match in the mixing room, I'd have thought it would have been the last thing he'd have done." "It was, sir."
