A yacht was sitting at anchor one time on the Niagara River. And all of a sudden, because the water was rushing rapidly and the wind was blowing, the rope holding the boat to the dock broke and it began to drift in the current and it happened that there were people on board the small yacht. They became panic stricken as it went rapidly toward Niagara Falls. Some of them were accusing each other and screaming at each other about who was to blame and why did you get me on this boat, and on and on it went. They could hear the thundering sound of the falls immediately ahead of them. What was the skipper to do? Well, he was a man of action. He had a piece of dynamite in his boat. He simply embedded it in the hull and lit it and blew a huge hole in the middle of the boat which proceeded immediately to sink the boat. Once the boat was sunk and no longer moving, the people were readily rescued as they clung to it in rather shallow water. This has to happen in your life too. Somewhere along the line, as believers, we have to scuttle the ship of compromise. We have to sink the vessel of worldliness or were going to find ourselves rapidly moving toward a disaster. God is calling you to a standard of living like no one else. He calls us to live His life among those of the world without being a part of the world. Thats what God calls us to. Thats the standard by which we are to live. Jesus is our standard. Hebrews 7:26 says, “He was a high priest who was fitting because He was holy, He was harmless, He was undefiled” and now listen to this, “He was separate from sinners.” He is the pattern: holy, harmless, undefiled; separated from sinners. God calls us to such a life.
