<\/a>Axioms Of Separation<\/span>\n<\/div>\n\nby\u00a0<\/span>John E.\u00a0Ashbrook<\/span>\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/b><\/span>\n<\/div>\n
Painesville, OH: “Here I Stand” Books, 1989. \u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/span>\n<\/div>\n
Point: Separation is a crucial element in the life of every believer.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/span>\n<\/div>\n
\nPath:\u00a0 <\/span>Written from a pastor to pastors, the author seeks to give the biblical reasons for separation. He lays them out in thirteen different axioms seeking to give scriptural support for each.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/span>\n<\/div>\n
\nAgreement: <\/span>I thought that the author\u2019s list of established and self-evident truths was helpful. Some of them were things which I had not thought about before, others I had. The first few I have come to see and understand: Scripture forbids us to have fellowship with unbelief, commands us to reprove apostasy, teaches us that we must purge unbelief, teaches us that a believer and unbeliever cannot be yoked together in spiritual endeavors, and teaches us to separate from disobedient brethren (pg. 29).<\/span>\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/span>\n<\/div>\n
\nQuestions:<\/span> Ashbrook notes that the Bible teaches that we cannot fellowship with those who do not practice separation. How far do we go? Second degree separation? Third or fourth? There is a struggle here and I do not have all the answers. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/span>\n<\/div>\n
\nPersonal App: <\/span>I believe that there are certain things over which we should separate and other we should not. I don\u2019t think that we ought to separate from another church over their choice of music, usage of a variety of Bible versions, service schedule, or color of choir robes. The common belief among certain groups is that \u201cif we don\u2019t believe exactly the same, we cannot fellowship.\u201d<\/span>\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/span>\n<\/div>\n
\nFavorite Quote: <\/span>\u201cSeparation is not the answer to every disagreement between brethren\u201d (pg. 29).<\/span>\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/span>\n<\/div>\n
Stars: 4 out of 5<\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/span>\n<\/div>\n
It would be worth another read and I would recommend it.<\/span><\/div>\n
