“Don’t intermarry with them-don’t give your daughter to his son, and don’t take his daughter for your son.”
Deuteronomy 7:3 CJB
When we intermarry with the world, we don’t change the world but the world changes us!
“In other words, do not let yourselves be conformed to the standards of the `olam hazeh (the world). Instead, keep letting yourselves be transformed by the renewing of your minds; so that you will know what God wants and will agree that He wants is good, satisfying and able to succeed.”
Romans 12:2 CJB
Don’t be a thermometer, but instead be a thermostat, changing the things of the world not by conforming to it but changing it to the temperature God desires!
“How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to your word.”
Psalm 119:9 CJB
No matter what temptations or distractions may be around us, we, as believers, need to change the temperature of the world around us by reflecting God’s glorious light!
Have a blessed day!
