CUT LOOSE.

Heb. 12:1: "Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us."
2 Cor. 6:17: "Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you."
Two men, under the influence of liquor, one night tried to row a boat across a bay. They rowed all night, and in the morning found they had made no progress whatever, for they had neglected to lift the anchor. Many Christians act as stupidly as this in their endeavors to make spiritual progress. They attend church, give liberally, and conform generally to Christian standards, but deep down in their hearts there is something they will not give up. There is something they love more than Christ, and they are anchored to it, so that they can make no progress.
