James 1:21 (NKJV) 21 Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
This scripture is pretty self explanatory. Simply stay away from or stop doing those things that are not right.
I remember when a man said to me one day “Even when you’re not saved, you know right from wrong. There is this feeling you get on the inside and you just know it.”
This was a man that went through a lot of stuff growing up as a child and during his teenage years. He was in a very dark place, but has since given his life to Christ and is a different man today. He lives a good life.
We know when something is not right; we can’t deny it. We can ignore it, but we can not deny that feeling and that knowing on the inside.
God gave us a way to get out of any bad situation or wrong conversations. He gave us two legs. Let us learn to walk away from filth and wickedness. When we stand there and listen and laugh about the things we know are not right, we are joining in whether we wanted to or not.
Spending time in His Word will change our hearts, transform us and renew our minds, and it will give us the strength we need to do what is right.
Romans 12:2 (NKJV) 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
