Romans 1:1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,
INTRODUCTION: Paul was emphasising the fact that to really be a servant of God he was separated for that ministry.
Today we hear a lot about building bridges. People are always talking about everyone getting together and trying to get along. I have noticed that the Bible speaks a whole lot more about building walls and being seperate than blending in.
I am afraid that we can get so concerned about not offending anyone that we forget that we are to be different. We are supposed to be a peculiar people. We have a different standard to live up to and we are not to compromise that standard.
There are many things that we are to seperate ourselves from if we are to set the proper example for others and keep ourselves unspotted from the world. I will discuss some of those things in the next few devotionals.
