This spoke to me and the situation that I have found myself in every waking day, so I thought that I might pass it on to you. Written by F.B. Meyer:
"Unspotted from the world". James 1:27
But how is it to be ours? 1) Put the grave of Christ between you and your former life, and reckon that you are dead to all solicitations that would induce you to live according to the lusts and passions that dominate the rest of the Gentiles. 2) Seek by use to exercise your spiritual senses, that you may be quick to discern the first and most distant approach of temptation, that so it may find you hidden in the risen living Savior. 3) Let the blood of Jesus be immediately cleansed from the least spot that may have defiled your dress. 4) Keep away your eyes, and speech, and feet, from all scenes and society that have a defiling influence.

Amen Rand! James is one the best chapters in the Bible.I love this verse also,"So you see, it isn't enough just to have faith. Faith that dosen' t show itself by good deeds is no faith at all, it is dead and useless', James 2:17, Zman.Take up your cross daily and live for Christ.
