One HUGE problem we have in out homes today is the lack of separation.
Separation: a division, an intervening space, a termination of a relationship.
Separation has always been something that the Bible taught
and God commanded. For example in Exodus 11:7b, "the Lord doth put a
difference between the Egyptians and Israel".
In Leviticus 10:10 we read, "and that ye may put a
difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean".
The reason we are to be different is described in I
Corinthians 6:12, 19&20.
Our homes are to be separate from the world. Early on I was
accused by a "Christian" friend of sheltering our children. He said
they are like tender plants and when they get out from under your roof they
will grow wild. Our oldest is now in his 40's and the youngest is 30 and they
are all serving the Lord somewhere in good churches.
One problem in some churches today is lack of separation. I
remember the old preachers of yesteryear pounding out with fury the compromise
of some well know "religious" leaders of that day. Today, their sons
and grandsons have turned the full circle and have once again indorsed the very
same thing their elders preached against.
Where did it start? I believe in the home. Just a thought I had on my heart today.
