Follow up - David's many wives

Last week we looked at David’s multiple wives(1 Sam 25:36-44), and we were able to make a comparison to our own Christian walk:  That trying to walk with God, and dance with the world at the same time is a recipe for disaster!

When we dance with the world, relationships are formed that vie for our attention, we establish a place in the social network, we make compromises that we have to hide.  And these things impact our ability to walk with God

They will pull us away from the people of God
They will pull us away from the house of God
We form connections to people and practices that can impact us for the rest of our lives.  We end up doing things that we cannot undo.

It’s been said that the most miserable place for a Christian to be is to have one foot in the church, and one foot in the world.  Why? Because it places you in the middle of a war
