His Love Boat< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
Philippians 4
You can refuse to be drawn away from God. Idolatry will draw you away from God if you do not refuse idolatry. Anything that you go after and whatever it is that is taking you away from serving Him is an idol. When you begin to want another personÕs possession, things that do not belong to you, you are being gradually drawn away. Being drawn away will not become clear to the person that is being drawn until that person has drowned in the sea of lust. Colossians 3:5, ÒTherefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness which is idolatry. Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience.Ó You do not have to be a part of the wrath of God if you choose not to; God will enable you. However, the choice is yours, God has given His love and it is left for you to enter His love boat of salvation. When you are drawn away by idolatry, you have forsaken God. It is evil to forsake God. Jeremiah 2:13, ÒFor my people have committed two evils: They have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters, And hewn themselves cisterns-broken cisterns that can hold no water.Ó Draw yourself away from idolatry. What you do not have now you can have it at His appointed time. Do not make yourself a victim of the evil one. God will not fail you, God shall supply your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Philippians < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>4:19)
