The common "Christian" thought is that everyone has to be moving in the same agreement and unity. However, that is not the case during the current church age we are living in. It cannot be and it is not meant to be. There has to be "a difference between those who serve God and those who do not."

Paul says in 1 Corinthians 11:18, "For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it. For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you." As certain as God created the heaven and the earth. Putting a separation between the light and the darkness. Parting the sea from the land, and separating the night and the day. He does the same thing with those who claim Him as Savior and Lord.

John says in 1 John 2:18-19, "They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us." There is something about a man or woman who is separated unto God. They cannot congeal with those who are not. Any time there is an attempt made to have ongoing fellowship, it is short lived. It is like sewing new cloth on an old worn out garment, there will inevitably be a tear.

Quite frankly they are unequally yoked. In the word we read, "If a man loves God the same is known of him." 1 Corinthians 8:3. Which would mean the flip side to that word would be "those who do not love God the same of known of him also." It is a sacred love of God that makes these separated children of God incapable of compromised love. They can only love Jesus Christ in purity. They are independent, and do not need to run with the crowd, neither do they want to.

They have tasted that the Lord is good and therefore will not settle for anything less. "They are in this world but not of it" and all people can tell. If there were no sovereign divisions then how is anyone going to know who is for Christ? Who is going to be able to see the man or woman who is burning hot, burning like a bright light among smoldering wicks? Separated men and women are like stars that shine in the universe as they sojourn towards heaven. Is that you? Are you separated unto God? The time is now to severe ties with this world that is passing away. To make yourself ready to be a true member of the other world that can never pass away..."world without end."

“If I am afraid to speak the truth lest I lose affection, or lest the one concerned should say, "You do not understand", or because I fear to lose my reputation for kindness; if I put my own good name before the other's highest good, then I know nothing of Calvary love.”

― Amy Carmichael, If
