You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in both the Lord’s table and the table of demons.

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭10‬:‭21‬ ‭NIV‬‬

I’m always bothered when, for instance, someone from church cites their horoscope for the day to explain themselves or their circumstances.

A plea of ignorance won’t be an acceptable excuse on judgement day.

But divided allegiances are on display everywhere, and sometimes even in my own life.

The difference lies in having received the Holy Spirit that keeps such things in check within our consciences to foster learning and spiritual growth along our pathway to salvation.

That’s His job.

Earnestly pray for wisdom and discernment, especially in these times when deception is the cultural name of the game to lead us down paths toward destruction.
