That is why the apostle Paul admonishes the Corinthians not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers (2nd Corinthians 6:14). What fellowship can there be between light and darkness?
God requires us to worship him in spirit and in truth (John 4:24), with our entire heart, soul, and might (Deuteronomy 6:5). To walk with the Lord you must believe him in all things, not just some things that you pick and choose for yourself. “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it (Jeremiah 17:9)?” The indwelling sin in our hearts will deceive us at every chance it gets. Therefore in all things we must defer to God’s word above all else.
“It is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law.
Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold.
Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way. " - Psalm 119:126-128
When the world is turning its back on God, you must turn your back on the world. Only then can you and the Lord be in agreement. Friendship with the world is enmity with God, and whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God (James 4:4).
Selah.
