I understand standards may protect our reputation or witness for Christ, but can they actually protect Christ?
Did not Jesus say it's not what comes from without that defiles, but what comes from within?
Should the flesh even be alive with Christ in us? Does not God's word teach us to mortify the flesh and its deeds? Romans 6?
I would appreciate your comments. God bless. |
The only standard I know of that can protect anything is consistent prayer, reading the word and some fasting every now and then
