Streb: Nonconformity |
|
|
|
|
| Jesus
was a nonconformist in many ways. In fact, that's one of the things
that gets me excited about my faith and one of the things that deepens
my relationship with him. |
|
| If
this surprises you, then take a step out of your comfort zone and think
of what nonconformity really means. You may think it means rebelliousness,
rudeness, and against the establishment, but I think it is standing
up for what is right, frankness, and for the LORD -- being in
the world, but not of the world. |
|
|
| So
many people are afraid to be different. In fact, a lot of Christians like
the fact they are different from the rest of the world, but when it comes
to being different from other Christians, they are fearful. Why? Because
we are not perfect. They forget that as long as we follow the Bible's teachings,
we are OK. I'm way more concerned about what God thinks of me than
what another person does. |
|
|
Many people are turned off by the church because a particular organization
has taught them that conformance is required and they should not dare to
ask any questions. Do you know what I say to that? |
Try a different church.
|
| That
happened to me, and after 25 years, I fortunately realized that my problems
were with a particular, organized religion and not with the LORD. If you
are turned off of God because of something man has done, please email me.
Not only is my testimony awesome, but you've got to know that GOD LOVES
EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US, NO MATTER WHAT WE HAVE DONE IN THE PAST!
If you do not know where you will go when you die, please email me; don't
be shy. |
