John 17

 15 I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth. 


The question really is for the church, for those that call themselves believers in Christ.

We are called to be set apart- to be sanctified.

But so many believers are filling up the church who don't want to hear the truth, they are more concerned with fitting in. There more concerned with following a man rather that caring if the pastor is teaching the word of God with boldness.

Are you challenged as you sit and listen?

Are you challenged as you Worship the Holy One of Israel- The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the World.

or

• Do you just attend church because its the right thing to do?
• Because its the cool thing to do in some hipster circles?
• Because the pastor tells great stories and makes you feel good about yourself?

Don't get me wrong, The Lord wants the best for us,but He wants us to be separate from the world not to be like it.

You really need to ask yourself the question; The church that I am sitting in, is it drawing me closer to the Lord and wanting to put off my flesh, or are you sitting in church careless of wanting to please the Lord, careless of being set apart, of bearing fruit, careless of being Holy for His glory.
