Be Different!

Be different, stand out, let your light, your Christ-directed, Christ-exalting works, shine before men in such a way that your Father is glorified. 

"The tendency of these days is to break down the holy barrier, and make the distinction between the church and the world very nominal. ..be it your aim in heart in word, in dress, in action to maintain the broad wall, remembering that the friendship of this world is enmity against God." (Spurgeon).

The great and important duty which is incumbent on Christians, is to guard against all appearance of evil; to watch against the first risings in the heart to evil; and to have a guard upon our actions, that they may not be sinful, or so much as seem to be so. George Whitefield

Bill, what a perfect quote from Whitefield (whom I so greatly appreciate) - strong words for us to heed - "important duty", "incumbent", "guard against", "watch against". Thanks for including it for our consideration this day!
