What does it mean to “come out” of Babylon? To exit Babylon means to no longer seek the culture’s favor or approval, to no longer seek its desires, to no longer seek its wisdom or counsel, to no longer seek its good or advancement, and to put no more trust in it. It means to put as much emotional, mental, physical, and above all spiritual distance between your family and the culture. Like Gideon, we must depose the idols in our own houses (Judges 6:25-27). We must abandon the ‘truth’ that we have been fed by our schooling, the media, and perhaps by our churches in favor of Biblical truth. Our families should be conformed to the will of God, not to cultural norms or expectations. Beware of ties with anyone or anything that seeks to draw you back to the city of destruction.
