Division has come, and it is unavoidable.
It is no use, dear friends, our trying to avoid this.
You see, here is a terrible statement. "I came not to send peace, but a sword" (Matt. 10:34), dividing even families and households.
You cannot avoid it; it is no use trying to.
If you are going on with the Lord, this sort of thing is going to happen...
And in the world it is going to become perfectly clear and pronounced where we are.
It is of no use just trying to keep and avoid...
You have got to yield to the work of the Spirit...
And it is costly in your own home with the clear division on the ground of whether the Lord is having His way or not...
Clear division in the family anywhere, everywhere...
You just cannot avoid it.
