BE SEPARATE

The Lord has commanded us to be separate people. He did not

tell us to segregate ourselves into isolated communities and

stay there. He wants us separated by our beliefs and lifestyle.

We cannot live in this world and be insulated from its influence.

But if we refuse to a part of the world's beliefs and lifestyles, God will protect us as our Heavenly Father.

Heavenly Father, how thankful we are that You are faithful to us

as we keep ourselves unstained by the ways of the world. We ask

that you help us to stay a separate people that You would be

glorified. In Jesus' name.

Read 2 Corinthians 6:17

"Therefore, come out from them and be separate, says the Lord.

Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you." (NIV)

"Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you." (KJV)
