If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell, where the fire never goes out. And if your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than to have two feet and be thrown into hell. And if your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell, where “ ‘the worms that eat them do not die, and the fire is not quenched.’ Mark 9:43-48 NIV
Ah yes: the eye of one dear to you who sees you. Then there is the foot of the dear one who approaches you. And, there is the touch of the hand of the one who is dear to you. Do not let anyone who is dear to you keep you from your allegiance to God. If such is happening you need to part ways with such a one. Sure this can be very painful, but your eternity is at stake. Do you wish to spend eternity in terrible torment? You do not necessarily need to cut off all communication with such a one. You do need to keep distance so that their way of living does not affect how you serve God, being loyal to Him. And, by all means do pray for someone who is like this. Pray earnestly for them. So many cannot or will not distance themselves from those who wrongly influence them. Do not be like one of these. God must absolutely come first in your life, and those who deter you from that must be kept outside. It is tough to do, but it is a must.
