Have nothing to do with them.'

"They mingled among the pagans and adopted 
their evil customs. They worshipped their idols, 
and this led to their downfall." Ps. 106:35-36

The 'carnal professors' of the day see nothing 
wrong, nothing amiss, nothing inconsistent in 
their conduct or spirit, though they are sunk in . . .
worldliness, 
carnality, or 
covetousness.

But where there is divine life, where the blessed 
Spirit moves upon the heart with His sacred 
operations and secret influences, there will be 
light to see, and a conscience to feel, what is . . .
wrong,
sinful,
inconsistent,
and improper.

It its but too evident that we cannot be mixed up 
with the professors of the day without drinking, in 
some measure, into their spirit and being more or 
less influenced by their example.

We can scarcely escape the influence of those with
whom we come much and frequently into contact. 
If they are dead, they will often benumb us with 
their corpse-like coldness. If they are light and
trifling, they will often entangle us in their carnal 
levity. If they are worldly and covetous, they 
may afford us a shelter and an excuse for our 
own worldliness and covetousness. 

Abhor that loose profession, that ready 
compliance with everything which feeds the . . .
pride,
worldliness, 
covetousness,
and lusts of our depraved nature, 
which so stamps the present day with some 
of its most perilous and dreadful characters.

"Having a form of godliness but denying its power.
Have nothing to do with them." 2 Timothy 3:5
