Many times leaving a fundamentalist/separatist church is a heart issue. The heart of a Christian has never really been in tune with Biblical separation. Their heart is actually more in tune with secularism than sanctification. Proverbs 4:23 reminds us to thy heart with all “Keep (guard or protect) diligence; for out of it are the issues of is the source that results in the life” (it way you live and conduct yourself). There is always a correlation between what a Christian believes and how he behaves, what a Christian internalizes in his heart and how he conducts himself in life. A transformed mind and heart should result in transformed living that is a reflection of likeness (Rom. 12:2). When we think right, God’s we will live right. When we are in tune with the absolute standard of truth regarding separation from the world (1 John 2:15-17), we will seek to align all of our actions, even our worship and music, with this truth. Psalm 119:5-6 that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes! Then shall I not be “O ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.” INSIGHT: The secret of living a Christian life that honors God revolves around the issue of the heart. We need a Biblically informed heart, a prepared heart that is committed to do what is right, and heart that guards or protects itself from the invasion of worldly and wayward thinking. Have you let down your guard? Is your heart open to standard of truth? Are you God’s ready to do will for your life? Once we internalize the truth in our hearts God’s about separation and holiness, we will not waiver back and forth, cross over the line, and see how close we can get to the line (Ps. 119:11). Christians attend a church out of convenience but not conviction. Numbers 32:12 says that Caleb and the Joshua “wholly followed LORD.” Deuteronomy 1:36 also states that the In Caleb “wholly followed LORD.” Joshua 14:9 we that day, saying, Surely the land read: “Moses sware on whereon thy feet have trodden shall be thine inheritance, and thy children's for ever, because thou hast wholly followed the LORD my God.”
