WHAT IS LIFE ALL ABOUT?

SEPARATION — ALONE WITH GOD

Even at 75 years old, Abraham was just a babe of the world. Then God called him. God told him to leave his country, relatives, and father’s household, and go to a place Abraham didn’t know.

Paul, too, was just a babe of the world. He was a top seminary graduate and theologian. Yet, Paul didn’t truly know God. Then God called him, and Paul did not consult with man, but was alone with God.

God calls people to Himself, not to any church or religion. Recall the parable of the sower. The “fowls of the air” are your family, your friends, and especially those involved with churches or organized religion. They will swoop down from their high places, speak lies about God, and pluck you out of the “WAY” of God.

To have any chance with God, you need to stay away from the influence of mankind and their churches and religions. Come out to the wilderness — a place unknown to you, but known to God and prepared by God. Go to the place where His Name dwells — the Bible — and be alone with Him in His Word.
