Church and State is it really separated?
We always bear in our mind about the separation of church and state. How can affect in us as a citizen that the church and state would be separated?Is there any implications for us personally?But before we gonna look up to this issues let's look the meaning of church, church can be seen in two ways the visible and the invisible church is comprised of all who claim the name of Christian and who gather together for worship and participation of the sacraments: the Lord's supper and Baptism. The members of the visible church claim the name of Christian. The members of the invisible church is the actual body of believers. A state is the means of rule over a defined or "sovereign" territory. It is comprised of an executive, a bureaucracy, courts and other institutions.The biggest threat to religious freedom is not the government — or at least, not the government acting alone. We very rarely have a situation where secular government officials act to repress any particular religion or religion in general. More common are private religious organizations acting through the government by having their own doctrines and beliefs codified into law or policy.Separation of church and state is very important because it practice freedom,none of them cannot over power to one another instead they will know there limitations.It implies us personally because we are living in this state in which they made laws for us as a citizen. Now we know what is church and state important because the “separation of church and state” might be something like “separation of organized religion and civil authority,” because religious and civil authorities are not and should not be invested in the same people or organizations. In practice, this means that civil authority cannot dictate to or control organized religious bodies.

why we conform?
Is there any reasons why we conform? or let me ask you this...is a Christian life called to be a trouble life free? Wow that's my reaction when I saw the post of my teacher it makes my head and my mind think a lot of things regarding conformity. I asked my self do i ever conform with others about the things that they are used to be? or in my life did i ever conform and go with the flow together with my friends? and the answer is a big YES! Yes and I admit that i conform with the things that my friends used to be.
Realizing things when the time i used to hide in our church activities, even in Sunday's service and midweek, i used to go home late so that I cannot participate the activities and made many reasons. God taught me that being in a Christian family your life is not a trouble free life; everyday you faced different problems and circumstances. Things changed when i admit to myself that I am not totally strong and firm about my faith to God. Faith and trust is the number one thing that can lead us to conformity, Why? because if your faith is lacking or not growing you can easily blown out by the wind of your life and if your faith is surely in good foundation even circumstances cannot distract you because you have faith to God. Bible is the number basis that we can go back for what is right, Bible is our guide for our daily living.
In this life today, many Christians are being persecuted, hiding to the place that where they comfortable of and meeting other Christian brothers and Sisters in Christ. Being a Christian our life is not a trouble free life, it is full of circumstances and troubles but let us hold on to the faith that God is given us...We should not conformed rather let us be transformed.

Studying the subject of church history makes me realize how it is important. It is important because we can learn our past and we can relate it for today's happenings in our daily life and in the church that we our ministering of. We don't need to hold back from what is past but we need to go forward and see the new horizon.
Why it makes me realize? I admit that I hate history especially dates and persons, but now it makes me thinks that they are very important in each life because in such ways they can be called as a pioneers. History is knowing and learning our past but we need to go beyond knowing about Christianity. God is really develop our ways in a different strategy, we may not see but we know He molds us.
