Blog
The purpose of the blog is to show the frequency, and relevance to the faithful disciple, that the subject of holiness to our heavenly Father and separation from the world occurs in His Word. This must instil in us both a desire and a willingness to leave the things of the world, with its ungodly views and actions behind us, or be caught up in its malicious and insidious ways. If we don't then we risk giving up our hope of acceptance when we stand before the great Judge of all the earth.
The short thoughts in this category are on a variety of relevant subjects that can be read and meditated upon without spending a lot of time at intervals through the day. We hope they will be both interesting and edifying, in accordance with scriptural principles.
His Peculiar People
"Thou hast avouched the LORD this day to be thy God, and to walk in his ways, and to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and to hearken unto his voice: And the LORD hath avouched thee this day to be his peculiar people, as he hath promised thee, and that thou shouldest keep all his commandments; And to make thee high above all nations which he hath made, in praise, and in name, and in honour; and that thou mayest be an holy people unto the LORD thy God, as he hath spoken" (Deuteronomy 26:17-19).
Cleansing the Camp
"And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the camp every leper, and every one that hath an issue, and whosoever is defiled by the dead: Both male and female shall ye put out, without the camp shall ye put them; that they defile not their camps, in the midst whereof I dwell. And the children of Israel did so, and put them out without the camp: as the LORD spake unto Moses, so did the children of Israel." (Numbers 5:1-4)
Not to Keep Company
"But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat." - 1 Cor. 5:11
The Temple of God
"Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are." - 1Corinthians 3:16-17
Without the Camp
"And Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it without the camp, afar off from the camp, and called it the Tabernacle of the congregation. And it came to pass, that every one which sought the LORD went out unto the tabernacle of the congregation, which was without the camp." - Ex. 33:7
"but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle." - Ex. 33:11
