God has a lot to say about us being set apart and holy from this world. Here are some verses about this. How are we to be in the world but not of it? He wants us to walk in obedience to Him and glorify Him in all that we do. This seems like far too much to ask of us, doesn’t it? I’m going to share some things that I have made a habit of doing in order to be set apart and holy.

Women are more easily deceived. I know this isn’t a popular opinion but truth from God’s Word will never be popular. God forbids women from teaching in the churches and being in authority over men. Why? One of the reasons given is that Eve was deceived. As I watch these female preachers come to prominence, I can see how easily they become deceived. They become more and more unbiblical. Please, watch this video about Joyce Meyer.

The number one way to not be easily deceived, women, is to be in the Word of God consistently and listening to solid preaching. Every morning, I share some Scripture on my Instagram and then I share a hymn. That hymn usually stays in my head all day long, so I sing it to myself. “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” (Romans 12:1,2) We must be constantly renewing our minds with Truth. Every night in bed, I listen to a sermon. Sometimes, I listen to one on my walks or while doing a puzzle. I love listening to good preaching that convicts me. I don’t want the fluffy, feel good stuff. I want the meat of the Word taught to me.

You must also learn to NOT be led by your emotions and feelings but by Truth instead. Whenever a critical or ungodly thought comes into your mind, kick it out immediately and replace it with truth. This is imperative to teach your children. They will hear lies everywhere. Truth needs to be deeply imbedded into their hearts. If a peer comes up to your son and says, “Don’t you want to be a girl?” Your son needs to be able to quickly respond with, “No! God created me a male, and I will always be a male. The DNA will be male in my bones hundreds of years after I die. I trust that God’s design for me is perfect.” They must always have a good defense against the many lies.

I watch little TV. There’s little that is of any value. We are to set no worthless thing before our eyes. I only watch things with no sex, cussing, extreme violence, or anything of this nature. I can only handle about an hour or so a day of watching it any ways. I don’t blame those of you have rid your homes of TV. I only listen to biblical songs, read books written by solid believers, and am careful to fill my mind with good things. I only follow those on social media who have biblical values. The filth of the world disgusts me. Make sure your children grow up to be able to easily distinguish between good and evil. Dwell on the true, honest, just, pure, lovely, things of good report, virtuous, and things worthy of praise as God commands that we do in Philippians 4:8.

But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained their senses to distinguish good from evil.
Hebrews 5:14
