Our culture seems to be of two minds. On one hand it celebrates being different and unique. “You do you!” On the other hand, we want desperately to fit in, to be affirmed, and to be like everybody else.
This tension is felt by Christians too. But we need to wrestle with something: Why do we want to fit in with a world which so often consciously rejects our leader and Lord?
In this sermon we explore 1 John 2:1-17 where the apostle tells us what it means to have Christ as our righteous advocate. He also warns us against loving “the world.” What does he mean by “the world,” and what difference does being different make? (Because it does.)
You can’t illuminate darkness with darkness. Let’s fall out of love with fitting in.
