Come out from among them. Also, remember when we have our noses continually in the filth of this world just to have information from the news we are engaging in unholy alliances.
Ephesians 5:11-14
"And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light."
2 Corinthians 616-18 "…16 What agreement can exist between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be My people.” 17 “Therefore come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.” 18 And: “I will be a Father to you, and you will be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.”…"
When we are walking down the street and we observe evil we do what we can to help. However, we do not look in all the corners for evil just to know it. When we do this it is entertainment for us. One has to ask "why would I be entertained by the knowledge of evil?"
Where in the Bible does it say I will set no evil thing before my eyes?
Psalm 101:1-3 "I will sing of mercy and [a]justice;
To You, Lord, I will sing praises.
2 I will carefully attend to the blameless way.
When will You come to me?
I will walk within my house in the integrity of my heart.
3 I will set no worthless thing before my eyes;
I hate the work of those who fall away;
It shall not cling to me."
When we love Christ we are not afraid to face evil when it comes down our path but we do not go looking for it either. The more we think of Christ the stronger we become. The more we look at evil the weaker we become.
