Lord Have Mercy // Week 3

Last night was probably one of my most favorite Alive's so far. The worship was amazing and the message was one of the best! God places different callings on people's lives but He's never called anybody to blend in. Jesus never looked anything like the world so neither should we. 

We can't be afraid to look different. We're supposed to look different in order to make a difference!

"I appeal to you therefore, brothers by the mercies of God to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to the world..." Romans 12:1-2a

There's one reason to walk away from temptation--->JESUS is BETTER!

Why would we want to play with anything that God for?

If people can't tell whether your not you're a Christian, that probably means your conforming. Can people tell you love Jesus by your Instagram or Twitter account?

"5 seconds of awkwardness is better than a lifetime of regret." Sadie Robertson

If talking about Jesus wasn't awkward, we could do it in our own strength & not God's.

God doesn't call you to be like the cool kids or do what everyone else is doing. He's called you to be like Jesus.

COMPROMISE --> COMFORMITY --> DEFEAT

"As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passion of your former ignorance, but as he who called you is holy you also be holy in all your conduct." 1 Peter 1:14-15

A lot of us have ex's. Your significant other would not take lightly to you flirting with your ex. As a Christian, the world is our ex. Jesus is JEALOUS for you - stop flirting with your ex.

You can't live wrong & expect to die right.
