Keep in the Master's Territory.
By Bishop Simpson
If we are to walk with God, we must go nowhere that Christ will not go. O, how many venture beyond the territory in which they ought to walk, and they wonder why they have not the enjoyments of religion. They go where Jesus will not go. "Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly." Christ is not there. "Nor standeth in the way of sinners." Christ is not there. "Nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful." Christ is not there. If you would walk with Christ, keep out of all evil company, of all evil associations; keep from all evil places—from every place where you cannot go in the spirit of Christ, and that, if upon earth, you might not expect to meet him there. If you go out of his territory where he would not go, you need not expect to find him.—Bishop Simpson.
