Three Layers of Joining Unto
Dr. Ronald L. Tottingham
1. To Follow - We begin following a movement, ministry, mission, charity, association, function, fraternity, etc., by reading, listening, attending, etc.
2. To Serve - Then we began serving the same, but support, volunteerism, subtle promoting defending, etc.
3. To Bow Down To - Then we began to bow down to by holding office, setting our schedules around, planning finances to include, etc.
Are we joined unto things which do not glorify the Lord? Are we in one of the layers already and being pulled further? Each should answer these questions for themselves about all his associations.
Is Christ openly lifted in all your associations or do you have to hide or put Him away to function in some associations? I and my staff are members of the Marine Corps League, Young Marines, Disabled American Veterans (DAV) and Civil Air Patrol and Christ is lifted among those who associate with us there.
