A Christian should always be out-of-step with the world, and in-step with God. But sad to say, from my observation, most of God's people today keep in perfect step marching to the world's cadence. Rather than, like Enoch of old, walking with God, they walk, as Paul puts it, "according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air "Amos, the prophet, tells us we will never be in-step with the Lord until we are in agreement with Him. "Can two walk together, except they be agreed?"
We are told one of the twelve tribes of Israel, "Of Zebulun, such as went forth to battle, expert in war, with all instruments of war, fifty-thousand, which could keep rank: they were not of double heart." The rank and file of Jehovah's warriors march to a different drumbeat than that of the Philistines. If you can stay in step with the enemies of Christ, you're in the wrong army! As the saying goes, "A man, or woman, is known by the company they keep."
I joined the Air Force at seventeen, at the outbreak of the Korean war. During marching times, I was consistently out of step with the rest. When their left foot came down, my right one did. The drill instructor said, "You need to learn the difference between your left and right foot." So he put a two pound rock in my left hand till I knew the difference. Many who are keeping in tempo with this godless world need to pickup a two-pound rock and carry it around until you know better.
