Why Believers Must Be "Separate”

Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 10, 2019

God has called His people to be separate from unbelievers, and to separate from so-called believers who are living immoral and profane lives. Yet God has given us the ministry of being spiritual medical doctors to the lost and dying around us.

The Three Legged Race Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Sep 4, 2012

The Three Legged Race (2 Corinthians 6:14-18) 1. Here is an old joke about a three-legged race of sorts. One day a traveller was driving down a back country road when he noticed that there was a three-legged chicken running alongside his car. He stepped on the gas but at 50 miles per hour.

Spiritual Adoption - What Does That Mean?

Contributed by J Jeffrey Smead on Jul 20, 2014

Adoption during the writings of Paul meant something totally different then it does today. Adoption signifies that you are legally a child of God. You are a full fledged member of the family. A joint heir with Christ. Updated July 2023.

Paul’s Harsh Advice On Who To Marry Series

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 28, 2018

This is a challenging passage. Paul repeatedly emphasizes the vast difference between Christians and non-Christians that makes marriage a non-starter. Why does Paul think that Christians should not marry non-Christians?

OVERKILL? Why does Paul make such a big deal about this? - 2 Corinthians 6:14-18. - Paul here argues that Christians should not marry non-Christians. That strikes many people as overkill. Is it really that big a deal? Is it really worth the repetition that Paul makes here? This is the ...read more

Should We Shun

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Oct 17, 2018

There is a need to return to the concept of shunning. Indeed, we should shun those whose politics are against Scripture even if they are called Brethren,

Having spent some time around Amish and Mennonites, I know they are pretty much the only groups that still practice shunning. Most are probably afraid of lawsuits, spitting the church or have a slightly off view of grace/love. We speak truth in love and some times we need to practice tough love ...read more

Abstaining From Worldly Associations

Contributed by Donnie Martin on Nov 23, 2011

Abstaining from Worldly Associations Text: 2 Cor. 6:14, 17-18 Intro: Though Second Corinthians 6:14 & 15 “…are often applied to various sorts of alliances (e.g., mixed marriages, improper business associations), Paul’s primary association was probably ecclesiastical."

Chameleon Christianity Series

Contributed by Guy Mcgraw on Mar 1, 2012

The concept of changing colors for the sake of adapting is unfortunately the trend of modern Christianity. Paul was writing to a church that had a numerous amount of challenges similar to those that the church in America is dealing with today. We are t
