1 Corinthians 10:14
Comments
One harmful factor will be idolatry. If the people of God foolishly link themselves, compromise themselves, involved themselves with the worship of idols in any way, it would destroy and ruin their communion with Christ. Of course, modern idolatry is equally to be concerned about here. Christian people who foolishly and needlessly turn themselves to depending upon and enjoying and following things in this world, which are designed to satisfy worldlings, and which have connections with that which is against God, and opposed to him and his standards – worldly entertainment at its worse – then obviously that will inhibit communion with Christ.
Application
When it comes to idolatry, the apostle Paul has something else to say. Shun it with all your might. Don’t allow it to get a grip on you; don’t walk into that idol temple; don’t plan to sin. We have to be on the watch all the time. Flee those compromises, premeditated sins, planned sins, things that will get hold of you, bring you down. If anybody is looking at things they shouldn’t be looking at, oh go on your knees and pray for special help. The tentacles are coming around you; break free entirely, flee from it. Don’t put yourselves in situations where you may succumb, or be exposed to any such temptation.
