Let us beware, even as Christians, where we attribute glory. We are to give glory to our Lord Jesus Christ alone. Not to ourselves in pride or self esteem or self empowerment. Nor should we attribute glory to that which is shameful. Epheshians 5:1-21 gives a helpful, practical insight into what this looks like:
Sexual immortality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named;and
No filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking.
To partner with such as these, Paul says, is to be unequally yoked. How can a Christian of maturity partner with a Christian of immaturity and infancy who glories in their shame. One who boasts of drunken nights, sexual encounters, live in boyfriends or girlfriends, immoral dealings, horded wealth, physical self inflictions, morality and religosity. One who gossips or crude jokes, or puts another down. The wrath of God is against such things in the non-Christian how can we as children of light be participators. It is our responsibility to expose such for the non-Christian as lights how can we expose what we are also participating in...
