We as a church are intended to live differently from the way the world lives. We are called to the life of a “resident alien” – not villifying the culture around us, but also not assimilating into the culture. We belong to Jesus first, and not any of the systems of this world.
Today, Alan Bryant points us to the new testament letter of 1 Peter, chapter 2, as we remember as a church who we are and whose we are.
