G. Campbell Morgan (1863 - 1945) was a British evangelist, preacher and a leading Bible scholar. He was the pastor of Westminster Chapel in London from 1904 to 1919, and from 1933 to 1943. One of his many quotes was "The church did the most for the world when the church was the least like the world." I know that separation is not a favourite word among Evangelicals today but as the church becomes more and more like the world it loses its influence on the world. We have seen that happen in Canada with the United Church of Canada and though it should be obvious to us we all fall for the lie of Satan. When the church tries to be like the world so that it can show the world that it shouldn't be like the world then the world sees through that and sees the church as irrelevant.
Moses reminded the people that they were called to be a separate people. They were to remain untouched by the people of Canaan. A lesson we need to learn today.
