[Manna - September 8]
Know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. James 4:4
GOD has purposely placed the matter in such a
position that His people must take their choice, and
lose either the divine friendship and fellowship, or
the worldly friendship and fellowship; because those
things which the Lord loves are distasteful to the
worldly, and those things which the worldly love,
evil deeds and evil thoughts, evil-speaking, are an
abomination in the sight of the Lord, and those who love and practice such things lose His fellowship—they are not of His Spirit.
"If any man have not
the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His." Z.'99-70 R2444:2
