What's shaking in South Florida? It wasn't an earthquake.

Thank you Lorraine for these links. I did notice I could not select the last link.
That's not an error, Kevin. The whole 2 hours was devoted to that conversation, so there was no first half Bible reading.
This article provided me with a proper rebuke. This is exactly what I have been wrestling with. I give thanks to Jesus as his patience with me is beyond my comprehension. This reply is a confession of my unwillingness to separate from one particular man. I have left the door open to a 30 year old "worldly friendship," putting it above the commandments of my Savior. I do not have the ability on my own to shield myself from this man's sin (as I do not constantly rebuke it as I should) - and in turn, his sin in one way or another rubs off on me. In the natural this man has helped me far more than most of my own family and definitely more than any church building attendee. As much as I love this man and as hard as it is for me, I must sanctify myself and separate, we are not equal. I hope and pray this man's life is someday changed and he is humbled to repentance. I hope I may someday again fellowship with him in the light but as for now it is necessary for me to leave behind the familiar darkness of this relationship.
I desire to be placed at the Lord's right so it is imperative to end my "fellowship" with those who will be placed on his left. How terrifying that day will be when the Lord shall come in his glory!
And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. Matthew 25:33
Yes, I agree totally. Jesus then went on further to say more once the rich man had departed the scene.
To that, I would reply that the rich man was not FORCED to give up everything he had for the good of the country, but rather, Jesus told him to GIVE everything he had to the poor and FOLLOW JESUS. The one thing you will notice about communists is that they never give those with wealth a choice, they certainly do not follow Jesus Christ, and those communists at the top sit in wealth but do not sacrifice it like they expect everyone else to do.
I think this is one of the best teachings you've had yet. I especially appreciated the discussion of Christianity vs. Communism and how Socialism/Communism goes against Scripture. Too many people out there think that Christianity means sacrificing yourself for the good of others, when that is not the case.
