01-03-2016: Avoiding Conformity to the World

Scriptures

1 Peter 1.13-21

Ephesians 4.22-32

Summary

Problem: Western culture throughly rejects biblical values–most notably values dealing with sexuality and valuing all forms of human life. The Church deals with diametrically opposed culture one of three ways.

Solution: One can conform, rebel, or speak out in grace and truth. We are called to respond gracefully and truthfully because we are obsessed with God and God’s world view. This obsession comes from spending time with Jesus and in His Word. It is a process.
