<p>&quot;They mingled among the pagans and adopted <br />
  their evil customs. They worshipped their idols, <br />
  and this led to their downfall.&quot; Ps. 106:35-36<br />
  <br />
  The 'carnal professors' of the day see nothing <br />
  wrong, nothing amiss, nothing inconsistent in <br />
  their conduct or spirit, though they are <strong>sunk in . . .<br />
    worldliness, <br />
    carnality, or <br />
    covetousness.<br />
    </strong><br />
  But where there is divine life, where the blessed <br />
  Spirit moves upon the heart with His sacred <br />
  operations and secret influences, there will be <br />
  light to see, and a conscience to feel, what is . . .<br />
  wrong,<br />
  sinful,<br />
  inconsistent,<br />
  and improper.<br />
  <br />
  It its but too evident that we cannot be mixed up <br />
  with the professors of the day without drinking, in <br />
  some measure, into their spirit and being more or <br />
  less influenced by their example.<br />
  <br />
  We can scarcely escape the influence of those with<br />
  whom we come much and frequently into contact. <br />
  If they are <strong>dead</strong>, they will often benumb us with <br />
  their corpse-like coldness. If they are <strong>light and<br />
    trifling</strong>, they will often entangle us in their carnal <br />
  levity. If they are <strong>worldly and covetous</strong>, they <br />
  may afford us a shelter and an excuse for our <br />
  own worldliness and covetousness. <br />
  <br />
  Abhor that loose profession, that ready <br />
  compliance with everything which feeds the . . .<br />
  pride,<br />
  worldliness, <br />
  covetousness,<br />
  and lusts of our depraved nature, <br />
  which so stamps the present day with some <br />
  of its most perilous and dreadful characters.<br />
  <br />
  &quot;Having a form of godliness but denying its power.<br />
  <strong>Have nothing to do with them.</strong>&quot; 2 Timothy 3:5
