Set Apart

I appreciate regular reminders of the Truth from the ministry of Ellerslie.com.

"As Christian values become more and more socially distasteful in our culture, the pressure to 'give Christianity a makeover' is growing by the day. In order to align our lives and our beliefs with God’s truth, we must make a decision to be set apart from the culture, even at the risk of being socially unacceptable. This doesn’t mean we need to be rude or insensitive to those with different values than ours. But it does mean we have to be willing to swim against the tide and not be swayed by popular opinion. It means we need to build our lives according to God’s pattern, instead of trying to blend God’s pattern with our culture’s values. As Christians, we should be the ones influencing the culture with truth — not the other way around. Now is the time to stand boldly with Jesus."
