Who and what is messing it up?

You don't need me to tell you that we are living in a day where the value of faithfulness in Christ is diminishing. The US is not as Christian of a nation as it once was. American families are not as Christian as they once were. The church as a whole is not even as Christian as it once was. The question is why? Why is this world not as Christian as it once was?

I'm sure the answers are virtually endless. However, separation is probably the biggest reason. Yes separation. Separation from the church, separation for the truth, separation from obedience separation for the while gospel truth, all kinds if separation.

What causes separation? Our troubles, our hardships, persecution, insecurity, and fear. Which of these have we brought upon ourselves because of sinful desires? Which of these have we allowed to separate us from the one who truly loves us because we have convinced ourselves; that which separates is more powerful?

Separation is a choice, there is no trouble, no hardship, no persecution, no fear that Christ can't not and has lot already overcome. The choice is a matter of the human heart. It is your choice.

Romans 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?
