The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

2 Corinthians 6:14-17, “Do not be bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness? 15 Or what harmony has Christ with Belial, or what has a

believer in common with an unbeliever? 16 Or what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the

temple of the living God; just as God said, “I will dwell in them and walk among them; And I will be their God, and

they shall be My people.

17 “Therefore, come out from their midst and be separate,” says the Lord. “And do not touch what is unclean;

And I will welcome you.”

Talk about a mess! The Corinthians were believers, but they were a long way from what the LORD wanted

them to be. Sound familiar? It should, because we’re all like that at times. But, we’re not to despair because

the LORD has not abandoned us, just as He had not abandoned them. We are just to be careful with whom

we associate.

Let’s say you’re building a business. You’ve got all the right ideas for making it successful –all but one! The

money with which to finance it. Then, along comes someone who says he will put his money into the business

and the two of you will become partners. There’s jut one problem. You’re a believer; he is not. STOP! Go no

further. You’re a believer; he is not. You are God’s light; he is the devil’s darkness. How are you going to get

along? But, how are you going to finance the business without him? Have you lost faith in the LORD Jesus?

Do you not think that He who arose from the dead is able to provide someone else who can work with you?

It works the same way in life. Sometimes, we just get in a hurry. We’re so anxious to get things done that we

forget that God has His own purpose, His own timing, His own people, His own finances. Slow down. Things

done too quickly are often not done well. Remember the LORD’s admonition: “Do not touch what is unclean;

and I will welcome you.”

Our prayers for your “success” are offered daily,
