Living Like Pilgrims

Living Like Pilgrims

There is nothing wrong with parents who come to the conviction that their daughters should only wear modest dresses in obedience to God, have their children not date but have chaperones while courting in order to keep their children sexually pure for marriage, not watch TV nor listen to secular music since most of it is debauchery and not dwelling on the good and the pure, and homeschool their children to keep them out of the public schools that is indoctrinating children in the wicked ways of the world.

There’s also nothing wrong with giving one’s womb to the Lord to decide how many children they will have nor is there anything wrong with not sending their children off to college to be indoctrinated by the world’s systems. Couples who decide to live out these convictions should be applauded by us! They’re not easy convictions to live by but sacrificial ones.

Parents who live out these convictions are NOT in a cult if they’re worshiping Jesus Christ and love His Word. They simply have strong convictions in these areas which I admire.

More Christians need to have stronger convictions in these areas. We are to look differently and act differently than the world and not be entertained by things of this world, because this is not our home. We are simply pilgrims walking on this earth for a short time before we spend eternity with Jesus.

Living to obey Him is what He commands that we do, and if some people hold strong convictions about how they want to live this out, they should be greatly admired and not mocked nor condemned by other believers in Jesus Christ.

Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
2 Corinthians 6:17,18
