"Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord." (Ephesians 5:19)
When was the last time that you heard a friend or relative singing or humming some good old hymn? Or, for that matter, when was the last time you lifted yourself up spiritually by doing so? Just try it! See what it does for your day. Even now you may be mulling over a problem or burdened down with little things. Try singing "Amazing Grace," or "What a Friend We Have in Jesus." By getting into the habit of making melody in your heart to the Lord, you will not only lift yourself up in victory, but you also will have a profound godly influence on your little ones or others who may hear you. (The Christian Newsletter - Number 150 January - February, 1993)

"Come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you." (2 Corinthians 6:17)
"But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet show I unto you a
more excellent way." (1 Corinthians 12:31)
It is a very common error to imagine that we serve the men of this world by mixing ourselves up with them in their associations and ways. The true way to serve them is to stand apart from them in the power of communion with God, and thus show them the pattern of a more excellent way. (C.H. Mackintosh)
