Stay Peculiar
Stay peculiar
1 Peter 2:7 Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient,“The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone,”8 and “A stone of stumbling And a rock of offense.” They stumble, being disobedient to the word, to which they also were appointed.9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;
Acts 5:28 “We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name,” he said. “Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us guilty of this man’s blood.”29 Peter and the other apostles replied: “We must obey God rather than human beings!
Martin Luther stood before the Diet of Worms, a church tribunal, and was given a choice to recant his criticism of the church to escape punishment. He answer to them was “Unless I can be instructed and convinced with evidence from the Holy Scriptures or with open, clear and distinct grounds and reasoning and my conscience is captive to the Word of God,then I cannot and will not recant, because it is neither safe nor wise to act against conscience. Here I stand. I can do no other. So help me "
If no one who you know very well family or friends can tell you a Christian they may be a problem. We all have or will stand before people family member and friends who do know Jesus or worship in different religion. We may also stand before Bishop, priest, reverends, politicians or teachers, whether on TikTok or school. They may call on us to participate in actions, worship, events , or be quiet or to change what we preach or how we live . Each request should be examined . Somethings would be No to one Christians but not to another, yes. Those would be areas covered by 1 Corinthians Paul in 1 Corinthians 8. some would be clearly a No !
In those things like everything else Christians must seek counsel from the bible , holy spirit and other believers, but in the end we must follow what we feel lead by the Bible ,God the father,Son and holy spirit, as well as our conscience. Stay peculiar or as the clip included says " weird" . The response may be to view you as a bigot ,crazy, stupid ,strange,phobic, weird or as bible says peculiar ! The Bible calls Christians to be like Peter, the other apostles and Martin Luther. Christians are called to stand and stay peculiar.
