Everybody knows things need to be different, but nobody wants to BE different.
But if God’s people aren’t any different, what good are they?
Jesus calls his followers the “salt of the earth.” Salt is meant to preserve and to add flavor. But, if salt loses its saltiness, it’s useless. (Matthew 5:13).
Daniel knew that being different in the small things would set him up to be used by God in a big way.
It’s no different for us today.
In fact, there are 4 areas specifically in which I think God’s people need to be different in our place and time. Be warned: you won’t want to hear them.
