No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. – Matthew 6:24
The idols of the heathen are all made to stand in the Pantheon face to face, and there is no quarrelling among them; but as soon as you introduce Christ there, they must all go down, or He will not stay. The principle of the toleration of every form of doctrine-I mean not, of course, civil toleration, which we hold to be always necessary and right, but I mean mental toleration,-the principle of the mental toleration of all forms of doctrine, and all forms and shades of action, is heathenish, for where Christ comes He comes to reign; and when once He enters the soul of a man, it is down, down, down with everything else.
There is a text which is often misunderstood. “No man can serve two masters.” I very much question whether he cannot; I believe he could serve, not only two, but twenty. That is not the meaning of the text; the true reading of it is, “No man can serve two masters.” They cannot both be masters; if two of them are equal, then neither of them is really master. It is not possible for the soul to be subject to two master-passions. If a man says, “I love Christ,” that is well; but if he says, “I love Christ, and I love money, and I love them both supremely,” that man is a liar, for the thing is not possible. There is only one that can be the master-passion; and where Jesus enters the soul, love to Him must be the master-passion of the heart. ~ C.H. Spurgeon

I tend to think that much of the “churches”interpretation and application for today concerning this passage would be a bit different than Spurgeon’s. For today we see idols of sexual perversion celebrated even within many churches during “rainbow” month. These idols all facing their “Jesus” and standing together in perfect harmony. “Their Jesus” has stepped forth to separate himself from the pages of Scripture wearing high heals, a mini skirt and lipstick. If you think that this picture that I just painted is sacrilegious; then you possess Discernment, but this is exactly where Satan will lead a people willing to follow. Can things get worse than this? — you bet! The picture of what I painted above may not be literal, but it is certainly contained within their evolving doctrine. Whereas Jesus the Word of God, is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Well said, Jerry. Many, throughout church history have been presenting another “Jesus,” a “tolerant of evil Jesus” before God. Oh, there is much worse than what you painted a picture of going on now and there is worse yet coming! It’s no wonder our prayers are turning more and more into groans, and we bear more griefs and sorrows than ever. We have our Beloved’s heart and His Spirit in us, so we grieve. Lord, strengthen us to stay true to You until our last earthly breath, amen.
Blessings to you, brother, amen! \o/

The rock upon which we believers fell will one day crush those who refuse to discern what is evil and heed His call. Keep up the good work.
