Simple Living At Odds With the World

There seems to be one thing that stands between God and many people nowadays, and that is the fact that they care about what other people think. Most people care more about what their relatives, friends, neighbors,co-workers and even strangers they pass by on the streets think about them than about what God says is important. They dress up, use make up and elaborate hairdos, buy a car that can compete with their neighbor's, and try to blend in with society as best as they can, while at the same time standing out as being special, yet not "strange" or "weird" or "peculiar". Even if they claim to believe in God, they try to be just like the other girls at college, and don't even find it odd that you cannot tell a Christian lady from any other girl there, they all look the same, wear the same clothing, eat the same things, and are all equally carried away by the cares and concerns of the world. It's obvious that people place man above God in this respect, since they care more about what everyone else thinks than what God wants.

Following God's word puts us at odds with the world, at every turn, as Jesus said it would, so we feel comforted and comfortable being God's "peculiar people".
