I think Spurgeon nailed it when he said,

"One reason the church has so little influence over the world is because the world has so much influence over the Christian."

I know without a doubt that this is true of me!

I posted this a year and a half ago somewhere else, and came across it again recently. Sad thing is . . . it's still just as true of me!

Here is Romans 12:2 in the classic KJV: And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

The world has too much influence on the Christian...so true. On Friday, Edie at Rich Gifts (Christian Women Online) posted her RANDOM QUESTION, asking for input on Romans 12:1-2. You might like to visit her blog and read what other bloggers are saying about this same verse.

It's so very true and we often need reminding of it. Thanks for posting the verse.

Many sweet blessings!
