In a spiritual sense the Lord wants us separated from the ungodly so we don’t become defiled with their behaviors and thinking.
2 Corinthians 6:17 “So COME OUT FROM AMONG UNBELIEVERS AND BE SEPARATE,” says the Lord, “AND DO NOT TOUCH WHAT IS UNCLEAN; And I will graciously receive you and welcome you [with favor],
A lot of Christians try to have it both ways, church on Sunday and back in the world on Monday.
Are you one of those?
Blessings
