SEPARATION OF GOD and SOCIETY

All of us are familiar with Separation of Church and State extracted from a letter written by Thomas Jefferson to the Danbury Baptist Association on January 1, 1802. This is used by the atheist, ungodly, secular humanists (commonly known as liberals) to justify the elimination of GOD from the public square. While looking for Thomas Jefferson's letter, I discovered The Democratic Hub/Advanced Liberal Political Community publication. It contained a poorly written article by Quin on May 5, 2012. He states, "It is my belief that any politician that allows himself or herself to be influenced by any religious organization is not upholding the oath they took to uphold the Constitution of the U.S." Separation of Church and State was not designed to eliminate GOD from society, but rather to ensure that the Church was not controlled by the State, and that is the crux of Jefferson's letter.

Separating God from our daily lives has been the agenda of the godless for decades and it has tremendously impacted our educational system, in particular. Prayer was removed by one atheist and then down came the Ten Commandments. In other areas of everyday living, GOD has been systematically separated from the daily lives and decisions that are made in ones life and as well as in our political arenas, which is dangerous and is in opposition to God.

The ungodly want nothing more than to eliminate every godly virtue, principle, value, thought and dependence on Him from our society and more. The ungodly constantly push their godless influences upon the public mind. The more this occurs and succeeds, the more chaotic our society becomes. The Children of God, who are called to be salt and light in Matthew 5, must be resolute in their righteous boldness to stand with the courage of conviction and faithfulness to the Word of God. Adorned with the Whole Amour of God (Ephesians 6), our little lights will beam into the societal darkness and it will disperse. When the Children of God shake that righteous salt into our society, it will be preserved, flavored with righteousness and others will thirst for the Living Waters that ONLY Jesus can provide.

As Children of God, we are not called to separate God from society, our souls, our minds, decisions we make and from our convictions. Recently, our current President Barack Obama made a declaration favoring same-sex marriage for the land. As a result of this declaration, some pastors who supported him for president are unhappy with his decision and stated that they cannot support him in the upcoming election. As a result of their decision, the "Rev." Al Sharpton has labeled these ministers as hypocrites. Hypocrites? For believing that GOD knew what He was doing when he ordained and defined marriage between one man and one woman. Hypocrites? Well, Jesus, the Master, Savior and Lord of believers, clearly states and defines marriage in Matthew 19:4-6: "And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, for this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain , but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let no man put asunder." No man should try to put asunder (tear apart) what God has put together -- the institution of marriage. And it is without question, one man and one woman together in holy matrimony.

Believers, we have a choice to make to either follow and obey God or participate in eliminating God from our consciences and society. God's Word contains no ambiguity regarding marriage and the sacredness of human life, particularly in the mother's womb. Peter and John in Acts 4 stood up to the authorities of their time and with boldness and conviction knew who they were serving and would not abandon their devotion to the one and only true Savior, Jesus Christ. This is the time in our history, that we need more Peters and Johns to stop the decay of our society. In Acts 5:29, Peter and the apostles answered those who questioned them, "We ought to obey God rather than men." Who are we choosing to obey today? Man may tell us that it's only fair for homosexuals to be recognized as married couples. Man may tell you that it's okay for us to cast aside the Word of God to please our neighbors, etc., but what does God say about it? should be the question. Well, the Bible has the answer for true believers and followers. Like it or not, His Word is clear. III John 1:11 clearly proclaims, "Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God."

Re-defining what God has already clearly defined is not of God and whatever is not of God can easily be defined as evil. Thank God that there are those who will not be persuaded to put misplaced alliance to a cause, a person or any form of idolatry before the God that created them and they will face at the end of their life. Thank God that He has His Children whose allegiance is to His Word and He is FIRST on their list of worship, praise, adoration, obedience, growing in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ and who is the Anchor of Their Soul.

May His holy light shine brightly on you!
