Don't try to live for the Lord and for the world at the same time.

Proverbs 1:8-19
If we are to be saved, we must follow the Wisdom of the Proverbs: 'Listen, my son, to your father's instruction' (8). We must follow the 'Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing', the living Word, our Lord Jesus Christ (Church Hymnary, 191). Satan is seeking to destroy us - 'let's swallow them alive, like the grave' (12). To 'go along with' those who do not honour the Lord Jesus Christ is to 'rush into sin' (15-16). To live by faith in Christ is to be 'kept by the power of God' for full salvation (1 Peter 1:5). There are choices to be made. You remain a fool if you choose not to ask God for wisdom (James 1:5-8). The fool is 'a double-minded man', trying to live for the Lord and for the world at the same time. Will you be wise or foolish? - The choice is yours. Remember this has more to do with the moral choices you make than with how 'well educated' you may be.
