Different Life

DAY 2 OF 5

Different. Strange. Weird. We don’t think of these as good things. Sometimes it’s hard to be different. The world might lead you to believe it celebrates your different, strange, and weird uniqueness. “You be you,” it says. In reality, it really only means this when you’re different according to its own accepted mold and form.

Make no mistake, God’s way will make you different. You’ll stick out. You’ll go against the grain. You’ll be noticed. It will set you apart from others around you. That will make you strange; often a little odd. Hopefully it makes you noticeable in a good way to those not yet born of God. But don’t be surprised if they don’t know what to do with you. Sometimes they’ll hate you for it. They won’t understand why you think and act the way you do. But if that which makes you different is from God, know that it’s good and true!

About this Plan

Different Life

Christians are different. They can’t help it. When you’re born again and filled with the Spirit, it changes you. This leads to different values about right and wrong, and a different lifestyle to match it. This series of 5-day plans uses the 10 Commandments (following the classic Augustinian ordering) as a vehicle for an alternative, Christ-like morality and Jesus-way of living.
