We live in a world where there is enormous pressure to fit in and conform. God calls us to live our lives different from the world.
• Living differently is a choice: We each must make the personal choice to live differently for the Lord.
• Living differently is a chance: We have an opportunity to show the world what a relationship with God looks like and make an impact on others.
• Living differently is a challenge: Living different from the world is not easy. We must protect ourselves from the influences of the world by renewing our minds with the Word of God.
• Living differently represents a fundamental change: A relationship with God changes the way we think and approach life.

Dare to Live for God
June 16, 2019 • Collin Monger
Faithfulness is often hard to come by today. As believers we are called to live faithfully in every area of our lives. As we study the life of Daniel we can see how he lived for God faithfully in every area of his life. We must do the same and live for God personally, glorifying God in our private life. We must also live for God publicly and not be afraid to let the world see us live out our faith. Finally, we must live for God persistently even in the face of trial and persecution.
