Avoid light, trifling professors of religion

(Mary Winslow, "Life in Jesus")

Avoid light, trifling professors of religion; their influence will be as poison to your souls.

I am convinced that much communion with lukewarm professors does great injury to the believer.

Oh, avoid such! Light and trifling conversation acts as a poison to the life of God in the soul. It grieves the Spirit, and He withdraws His sensible influence.
