These things are mutually exclusive: Worshiping God and worshiping idols, serving God and mammon, living in the flesh and living in the Spirit, loving the world and loving the Father. These things must go together: faith and works, trust and obedience, love and action, prayer and service, justification and sanctification, justice and righteousness, the cross and resurrection, the bread and the cup, patience and perseverance, truth and the Word, the written word and the Living Word, prayer and listening, heaven and earth. Think on these things.
From “Build On The Rock”, by H. Lamar Smith
