I read this post from Douglas White and loved it!, and I wanted to show all my wonderful visitors! ...Appréciez! (That means enjoy in french!)
When you come to God your world takes on a whole new culture called an Apostolic culture. The Apostolic movement has a culture all of its own! And while some are trying to ‘blend in’ you need to know that ‘blending in’ was NEVER God’s plan for the Church!
We have our…
Own message,
... Own doctrines,
Own look and, because we talk in tongues,
We have our own language!
We are known… our Apostolic identity has testified through the ages… that we are the ones that live our lives by certain standards. And, frankly, I find it ridiculous that some are trying to erase those Apostolic distinctives among us;
They want their lives to ‘blend in’ with a lost world
God wants our lives to ‘stand out’ to those needing us most!
Their carnal, callous mentality has forgotten that we aren’t to be worried about their culture but locked into our Apostolic culture!
Their culture says ‘find the approval of men’ but
Apostolic culture says ‘find the approval of God’!
Their culture says ‘fit in with your peers’ but
Apostolic culture says ‘fit into the Body of Christ’!
Their culture says ‘if it feels good do it’ but
Apostolic culture says ‘if you feel God do it’!
Their culture says ‘attach yourself to the world’
Apostolic culture says ‘attach yourself to God’!
