<TITLE>10. Par 32-34</TITLE>L-32 And there was Lot walking right along with Abraham who was--was a believer too. But he didn't have that constant abiding Presence of God. So when the herdsmen got to arguing, Abraham, said, "We are brethren; let's not have any arguments." And said, "You take the east; I'll take the west. Or if you take the west, I'll take the east. Which way you go, I'll go vice versa." That's the way to make a decision.
"God, You do the leading." Amen. I, that, I hope that sinks way down deep. Look. "You do the leading, God."
And Lot, of course, as the worldly minded as he was, he looked down towards the well watered plains of Sodom and Gomorrah, and away he went. And let's say he become the chief man of the city, set in the gate where the judge always set. He become the judge, or the mayor of the city. His wife belonged, perhaps, to every sewing circle there was done there. And she really got into the class. Certainly. But look what a crowd they mixed up with. God told Abraham to separate himself. That's what God wants Christians to do today, is separate yourself from all the things of the world.

L-33 The Bible said, "If you love the world, the things of the world, it's a good sign that the love of God is not even in you." Amen. You're so... As we were saying last night, if you love every other woman and your wife too, it's a good sign you don't love her. That's one thing sure. Why didn't you women say, "Amen." I want you to say it so bad. I was going to give the brethren a chance. All right.
Right. If you really love her, you're sold out; that's all. And if you love God, you're sold out also when you love Him...
Now, notice. Then there come a time where there had to be a separation, or we'd call it a junction time. You know what, we've had... We're now facing that seventh junction. We're at that separating time now, where God is separating the church. You believe it? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.]

L-34 We have time for a few hours to go into the adoption to show how God pulled His people out, and his son was adopted into the family. After he was already his son, born in the family, He become adopted in the family also. He was adopted, taken out and put a white robe on, and he was adopted into the same family he was borned into, if he proved to be a fine man until he was of age and correctly about his fathers business.
God done the same thing to His Son, took Him apart and put Him up on the mountain and there overshadowed Him. And His garments glistened like--like the sun in its strength like that. And a Voice spoke from heaven said, "This is My beloved Son, hear ye Him," God placing His Own Son." That's right. God still places His children in His Church. And the time of adoption is at hand. Separating...
Now, look in the antediluvian world, when God raised up, spread from His hands, and made the world and created the heavens and earth and made man, done all things in His great plan of miraculous, and the Life of God was in man, man believed in the supernatural, but sin separated him. Then after a while he become builders and builders; and the first thing you know, they become--had great buildings and cities. And when cities and buildings and people congregate together then violence sets in all the time. Look at today.
