Thoughts:
- We all want to be different.
- We usually express this through our style of dress or something unique about us.
- The last thing we want is to be seen as ordinary.
- As Christians, we are really different from others because of what God has done in and through us.
- We do not express this difference through our practices.
- Our difference lies deeper than our outward practices.
- God has called us to differently from the people of this world.
- We must live God-pleasing lives because that’s who we are.
- Our lives reveal our true identity.
- Be different because we’re different.
