Be Aware . . .Misfit!

Now, brothers and sisters, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief. You are all children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober . . . (1 Thessalonians 5:1-6)
In these crazy days, be aware! We must be aware of dangers all around us. Folks are looking to take advantage of people in all situations; at the malls, at gas stations, through the internet . . .
More importantly, we must be aware that Christ is closer to coming back now than ever before!
Brothers ansd sisters in Christ . . . fellow believers . . . we need to live like we know this! We must be a peculiar people . . . set apart from the rest. We must stand out so others who are lost in the crowd can see the other option!
This is not the time to blend in family. It is time to be the unusual, the misfit. Why, because we are! We are not of this world!

Yes vs No . . . Do not cheat God and family!

But my eyes are fixed on You, Sovereign Lord; in You, I take refuge—do not give me over to death. Keep me safe from the traps set by evil...
