Into the Fire

Did you ever wonder why there was this desperation for "separation of church and state" which cannot be found in the Constitution? Christianity brings conviction for sins and plagues the conscience with a demand for separation of good and evil. This is definitely uncomfortable for those who rail against "religion", failing to realize that there is a distinct difference between religion and relationship with God. Those who insist on removing God from public view must do so to enable them to mesh their versions of good and evil and redefine all that is truly good into whatever they choose to make it. They can try to do this, but they will not succeed. The chasm between good and evil is eternal and doesn't depend on a human being's definition, inclination, desire, or intention. God defines it. Trying to redefine the two will never work. No matter how hard they try.

Father, thank you for defining good and evil. Thank you for salvation from sin. It runs in our blood, but yours is more powerful and can free us from our slavery to evil. Please forgive me for mine. I'm desperate for you. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
