God instructs us to separate ourselves from exposure to a wide variety of things that can cause harm. Separation can serve as life-saving tool in the life of a Christian when used properly.

Why Are There Christians?
Is there a purpose for Christianity in a world so utterly at odds with its teachings? Are Christians failing in the goals which are set before them? Why is it so difficult to clearly understand what it means to be a true Christian? Is it even worth the struggle?
Wrestling Sin
The Bible says that we all sin and at times it can be a constant struggle, as we try to overcome. What can we learn from the examples in the Bible about those who continuously wrestled with sin?
What’s Next in Prophecy?
“Migrants Face Deportations and Wall in Europe”; “Will EU Nationals Have the right to Stay in the UK after Brexit?”; “German’s foreign intelligence agency spied on foreign journalists”; “media is the enemy of the American people”; “Keystone pipeline and American steel”; ongoing Twitter war… the list could be continued. What is the common denominator of all these and many more news events and reports? And how does God look at this? And what does all of this tell us as to where we are in prophecy… and what will happen next?
Coming and Going
When God asks us to come to Him, what does He expect of us? Not everyone who wants to come is truly called by Him. Others don’t come, even though they could have come; and then there are those who go or depart, even though they did not have to fall away. Why do they forsake God, and what will happen to them if they do not come back?
Lost Innocence
We live in a world filled with sin. There is no way to avoid it. Have we lost our innocence in regards to sin? Are we warped by it? Have we come to just “accept” sin as a normality? What about our children? Do we do everything we can to guard their precious innocence?
The Hurdle of Sinfulness
The Little Things
Common sense might bring one to conclude that if we are called to fulfill God’s great plan, our human achievements and abilities must also be great and powerful. However, just the opposite is true. Throughout the Bible, God accomplishes great things by means of the small and seemingly insignificant. Little things in the right context work together to produce faith in us, glorify God, and fulfill His awesome plan.
Empowering Our Relationship With God
God has made many promises to His faithful followers. We can be assured of these promises because His every utterance is truth! What are we doing then to make that truth a reality in our lives?
The Long Game
To be a Christian involves having a special vision that seems foolish when measured by worldly standards. Whereas the goals that are set by worldly measures seek a short-term outcome with a temporary duration, the goals of a Christian are long-term and eternal. These actions we take today must be directed towards the ultimate long-term outcome that God plans for each of us.
