I come across many people who truly believe they are in right standing with God. They live as they choose and have no interaction with this God they say they believe in. They wouldn't think of avoiding one or both of their earthly parents (or maybe they would), yet the same courtesy doesn't seem to apply to a Creator. It is no doubt because He cannot be seen and let's face it, no one can actually prove His existence anyway. They simply do not get it. They have no concept of what faith is. This is why the Bible speaks of drinking milk (1 Corinthians 3:2). We must grow spiritually, but the ungodly don't get that either. They don't want any restraints. Live and let live. Oh, they can do that, God is never going to stop any of us from living as we choose. However, as Paul points out in to the Corinthians, not all things are beneficial or constructive for us (1 Corinthians 6:12 & 10:23). My prayer is that I can make some sort of difference in the lives of these folks who live for money and pleasure, never realizing that their life is ebbing away and will some day be used up. rlkeller
