Separated From the World

The true believer needs to be separated from the world. Not separated from the people of this world: the drug addicts, the criminals, the haters of God or the enslaved to passions. Rather, the people of God needs to be separated from the systems that enslave them: the financial institutions, the party politics, the government grants, and the ecclesiastical controls. Yet the church has adapted the latter and rejected the former, just the opposite of Jesus.

...and give to the poor. A congregation is not a group of Christians that meet in a church building—it is the two or three where Christ dwells

"Everyone Wants Revolution..."

“No one wants to do the dishes.”

"One's Philosophy Is Not Best Expressed In Words..."
