Verse 23 “He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.”

The verses in this passage, from verse 21 through 26, are difficult to be understood, and may be impossible of full understanding by mortals at this time.  The verses deal with the workings of demons and the power of Jesus to defeat them.  But in the midst of these verses is this statement that neutrality toward Jesus is impossible.  Halfhearted, lukewarm Christianity makes God sick!  See Revelation 3:16.  We can not compromise with evil with out paying a price.   May God help us to stand for that which is right and to stand with Jesus without dividing our loyalty.
