For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? 2 Corinthians 6:14

In other words, how do you get along with someone who is not of the same mind as yourself? Unless there is a compromise?

The world is big on compromise. We need to agree to disagree they would say. We need to come to a form of agreement so that progress can be made?

Progress to where?

Truth and Lies do not agree.

God specifically warns us of living a double life. “But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.” Matthew 5:37.

The bible tells us Satan is the father of lies.

In John 8:44 we see a story unfolding – “You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.”

Here, Jesus is speaking to the Pharisees who had come seeking to find fault with Him. They sought to kill him. John 8:40-43 “But now ye seek to kill me, a man that has told you the truth, which I have heard of God: Abraham did not do such things. You do the deeds of your father. Then said they to Him, We are not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God. Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, you would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. Why do you not understand my speech? even because you cannot hear my word.”

Here are some scriptures to show how much God abhors a person who is in a twilight zone, meaning, in a place where they are neither totally in darkness nor completely in the light.

“I know all the things you do, that you are neither hot nor cold. I wish that you were one or the other! But since you are like lukewarm water, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth!” Revelation 3:15-16

Therefore “Come out from among them And be ye separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you.” 2Corinthians 6:17

“Then Ezra the priest stood up and said to them, ‘You have transgressed and have taken pagan wives, adding to the guilt of Israel. Now honour the LORD, the God of your ancestors, and do what he demands. Separate yourselves from the people of the land and from these pagan women.”Ezra 10:10-11

These two rivers when they meet, do not mix. The reason why they do not mix is because of the composition, density, temperature and the elevation that develops between them. Which becomes a thin wall and prevents them from mixing.

Even the rivers teach us !

“For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities – his eternal power and divine nature – have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.” Romans 1:20

There is a decision to be made. Either wake up or go to sleep. But wake up and come out from the world and God will receive you.
