Binary: Belong to the Lord or belong to the enemy

My friend Paul M. is retiring this month, he shared this truth with me years ago: 10 types of people, those who understand binary and those who don't

Continuing the theme Corrie Ten Boom says, 

The world is very sick. There is tragic amount of darkness and sin in the world. And every child of God is standing on the front line of the battle, and the battle is very severe. There's no time anymore for a compromise. You do belong to the Lord Lock Stock and barrel, or you do not belong to him, and then you belong to the enemy. 

Just imagine when you are on the front line of a battle. And you compromise a little bit with the Enemy and the other side. You yourself are in danger, and you, your nation, is in danger because of you.  - Choose Your Side - Corrie Ten Boom

John 14:23: Jesus replied, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word. My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. 

This may be my most important insight: It's evil to refuse to follow the Lord completely (1 Kings 11:6, Mark 8:36)

Aleluia, You have saved me, so much better Your Way, Aleluia. Aleluia Great Defender, so much better your Way!
