    Why be separate? We cannot invite people into the temple of God and into his holiness and wholeness if we are not separate and are identified as different. If we do not represent God, how can we invite people to come to him?

    3 - “You will want to get in on this” -OR- “Come Out, I Want You!” “I WILL RECEIVE YOU IF…” 14 Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common?
