                    WHAT DOES "SET APART" MEAN?
Jim Book: "My fear today is that many churches are dying because the average person in their pews have no idea what it means to be 'set apart' from the defilements of this world.  The church is many areas is so worldly minded, it is difficult to see any real separation

                    Being completely set apart for God’s use and being a holistic community means able to define who God is calling us to be both individually and corporately. We may need to say “no” to some good things in order to become what we need to be to reach who God wants us to reach. I believe these seven

The boy stood defiantly.   “Go ahead, give it to me.”

“And you have been punished each time?” the principal responded.

  "Sarah"
   I’m Sarah, I’m sixteen;
   Last night I failed.
   I prayed for more strength,
   So why did I yield?
   He said he loved me,
   Brought me flowers and all;
   Then he took me upstairs

   He’s taken my heart;
