Strangers in this World
Tyn Church, Prague
Early Christian Church surrounded by Communist Government buildings in Sofia, Bulgaria2 Peter 11-12
11Dear friends, I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul. 12Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us.
Peter was writing to Christians. We should not expect to 'fit in', here on earth. Don't live like everyone else - we are supposed to be different.
