Flash, I believe it is, indeed, our spirituality that sets you, Mike, and I apart. "...Be ye separate, sayeth the Lord..." (2 Cor.6:17) is what we aspire to, and I believe it is our shared faith in Christ and our guidance received through His Word that does set us apart.
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." (Eph. 6:12) This is the true battle we face. Our battle is indeed a spiritual one as this nation is going down the same path of unrighteousness and Godlessness as did the old Roman Empire who destroyed themselves from within. Our greatest enemy is not ISIS, or Ebola, or the world economy; it is our turning away from God Almighty that is at the heart of our problems.
My prayer is that our once great nation will repent and turn back to God before it's too late.
I sincerely appreciate your's and Mike's insightful posts. "Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing." (I Thess. 5:11 NIV).
