CAN CHRISTIANS BE COOL?

DIGGING DEEPER

May 8, 2016 • Pastor John

Can you be a Christian and still be cool? How do you live IN the world but not OF it. Jesus was even accused of crossing the cultural line. John 17:14 and Romans 12:2 talk about being in the world but not of the world. We need to be set apart but also be:
#1 AUTHENTIC not necessarily COOL like the world desires
#2 RELEVANT but not caught up in the FADS
#3 SET APART VS ISOLATED - We are to stand out!

Being a Christian doesn't have to be weird... it only has to be real!
ROMANS 12:2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

JOHN 17:14-17 “14 I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. 15 My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. 17 Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.

1 JOHN 2:15 “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
