People from other cultures usually stand out. It may be their clothing, their appearance, their skin color, their language, it could be a number of things, but usually they look different. Not better, nor worse; but different. Aliens stand out.
As Christians we are strangers and aliens, however, we are not set off by a specific style of dress. Christians should dress modestly; but we don’t wear uniforms with a big cross on the front. We don’t have our own language or distinct way of talking. Hopefully, we have put away gossip and evil speaking, but Christians usually speak their native language. We don’t belong to a specific class, nationality, or race. We may associate people from certain parts of the world with a certain religion, but Christians live all over the world. We don’t all live in or hail from a specific geographical area. We don’t have specific dietary laws that distinguish us from others. Actually, we are not defined or distinguished by any of the things that normally mark off one people from another.
So, what is it that makes Christians to be peculiar and strange wherever we go? You are invited to join Dr. T. D. Worthington for this week's edition of PathLight. We will be discussing the subject of "What Defines You?"
