There are a variety of issues in our culture now that as Christians we should not learn or copy. This is the same as it has been for centuries, but sometimes we forget that we are supposed to live as an example of an alternative to what the world says. As a general rule alternatives have to be different...or stunningly, they are not alternatives.
So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that’s coming when Jesus arrives. Don’t lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like doing. You didn’t know any better then; you do now. As obedient children, let yourselves be pulled into a way of life shaped by God’s life, a life energetic and blazing with holiness. God said, “I am holy; you be holy. [1 Peter 1:13-16]
