The Continental divide is a natural barrier that separates the West coast of America with the rest of the country. It was made over a thousands of years by volcanoes. It took man 100s of years to cross the divide. And then crossing the divide cost many lives and much money. But man didn’t give up and built railroads and highways through the mountains. I have flown over the Rocky mountains on my way to California.

What I want to know is what does the divide between mankind called? If you say there is no divide, you are kidding yourself. There is a divide between the haves and havenots. There is one between the different color races. There is a divide between nationalities. There is a divide between the different religions. There is even a divide between neighborhoods. So, what do you call this madness?

To say it is just insanity, is too simple. Yes it is insanity, but it is curable. Just look at all the problems this insanity has caused. Wars have broken out because of the divide. If you don’t remember that half of the Syrian population drove the other out of Syria. And just look at the war in Ukraine. It is a war over oil. Don’t condemn the Russia too much, because we went to war in Iraq over oil.

So, what is the divide called in our lives? There is only one name that fits this divide. Most people will object to this one word. But it is the truth. It is called sin. God wrote in the bible that all mankind has sinned and come short of the glory of God.

The only way to correct this abnormality is to change your heart. And the only way to change your heart is to come to God and ask for forgiveness. God is the only one that can change your heart. So, why live with the divide in your life. Change your heart and live normally.
