"Therefore....Come Out From Among them And Be Separate"

           What does it mean to be separate.....and to be a peculiar people....as God's Word describes it? Well....you might listen to a J. C. Ryle 1878 sermon titled.....The World....as I did while traveling today. This is the second time I've listened to this message from the nineteenth century London preacher....and I think that I can say with some confidence that you will listen to every word of the hour long sermon.....but all that I want to say here about being separate from the world.....is that one thing it would not be....would be being a rabid Trump supporter....for that is about as joined at the hip to this world as one can be.....and as for 'peculiar'.....if you are a conservative or a republican....and if you do not support this man....then you are peculiar....maybe even thought to be somewhat crazy. Ryle does talk about this politics aspect of separating from the world....as he brings up a lot of specific topics. He'll tell you that desiring or even working for wise and godly leaders is not the problem....and you can determine for yourself what he might call the problem if he were with us today.
