## Resource

Paul introduces himself to the Roman Church as "Separated to the Gospel". Do not let the world influence you. How Separate Are You? It is so important to be separated. We want to be separated as "better" than others, but we don't want to be separated as "inferior" to others. Too many want to be separated by their victimhood. They solicit sympathy and seek "separation" that way.
