A separated ministry


Acts 13:2  

While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.”

Romans 1:1

Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God—

Romans 12:1-2  

1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship.

2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

John 15:18  

“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.

James 4:4  

You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God? Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.

1 John 2:15  

Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

Hebrews 7:26  

Such a high priest meets our need—one who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners, exalted above the heavens.

His Love Is Not Normal

 “Your love, God, is my song, and I’ll sing it!”  Psalm 89:1, The Message

God’s love is not human. His love is not normal. His love sees your sin and loves you still. Does he approve of your error? No.

Do you need to repent? Yes. But do you repent for his sake or yours? Yours. His ego needs no apology. His love needs no bolstering.

And he could not love you more than he does right now. - Max Lucado
