8-25-2022 Devotion: Separation

 Proverbs 29: 27: "An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked." There is no agreement between an unjust man and a righteous one. The just one looks with disfavor on the ungodly, and the wicked dislikes the upright. Just as a straight stick shows up a crooked one, so the contrast between a clean life and a wicked one is glaring. This is one reason why where you fellowship is important. There is to be a separation. Years ago, my wife and I were large supporters of a particular ministry. However, after a few years, we noticed some things that caused concern to us. We discovered that the leader did not believe in the Trinity and he did not believe that Jesus Christ was the Son of God, only a "son" in a general way. Immediately, my wife and I discontinued our financial support and warned as many as we could of the heretical positions of the leader. Needless to say, we were an abomination to each other. We should not fear when the wicked consider us an abomination. In fact, it is a good thing when the wicked unbeliever dislikes you. Be encouraged.
