No Separator

Isn't it interesting how an egg's yolk and its white don't seem to want to part  company?  Why, the egg white even wants to take the egg shell along.  The trick is that nifty kitchen gadget that defies Mr. White pull and catches Mr. Yolk, holding him hostage until relocated.  Poor Mr. White!

How amazing so many Christians believe their faith has little-to-nothing to do with the rest of their lives. What they profess as  Followers of Christ bears little-to-no fruit nor produces any evidence. God had something to say about this manner of living as He spoke to His church at Laodicea: "I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor  hot: I would thou [were] cold or hot. So because thou art lukewarm, and  neither hot nor cold, I will spew thee out of my mouth." (Revelation 3:16)  Oh, yum -- chugging  warm water!  Doesn’t that sound appealing!  Well, this is exactly how God describes us when we put our faith in some sort of spiritual separator.  What God wants and this world  needs are "faithful and true" witnesses (V.14) to the power Christ produces in our lives; a visible and an effective reflection of The Truth, living within us and being seen outside us. Let’s make sure the only “separator” in our lives is the one used in the kitchen!
