Now, Abraham was just an ordinary man--wasn't something special. God never called him, as far as we have any record, until he was seventy-five years old. His wife, which was his half-sister, being sixty-five years old at the time, they'd probably lived together since they were very young, and she was barren, had no children. God called a complete separation: to separate himself from the rest of the world, and from all of his people, and from all of his kindred. There was a special thing for him to do. And when God expects you to do a special thing, He demands a complete separation from any doubt. You've got to come to full obedience to obey what He says. God demands it. You can't do it no other way. And that... He always sets an example, and that was his example of a complete separation: from all of his family, all of his kindred, and so forth, to walk a life separated to God.
