As humans, our songs tell the story of our hearts.
This soundtrack has three songs…
1. The Declaration of Defeat v.1-3
–Babylon represents the total culture of the world apart from God.
2. The Weeping of the Wicked v.9-19
– Kings – Those in power
– Merchants – Those in business
-Seafarers – Those in logistics
3. The Call to Come Out! v.4-8
The call to come out of Babylon is a timeless message to the people of God NOT to participate in the worldly behavior of those who embrace wickedness
Association leads to participation
Be IN the world but not OF the world
Why come out of Babylon?
- So you don’t commit her sins
- So you don’t receive her punishment
Come out of Babylon…
- Spiritually – nothing matters more than HIM
- Emotionally – overall attitude and identity
- Physically – taking care of your temple
- Sexually – eyes, body, spouse
- Relationally – do they see HIM in you
- Socially – personal faith = public difference
- Professionally – your “why” at work is HIM
