A Transforming Difference

I watched this and now I am pondering this:

Our difference from the world,
not our similarity to it sets us apart.

But even though Christ followers
are called to be different,
we’re also called to
transform the world.

Here lies the tension.

We can’t be so far removed from the world
that we lose contact,
and we can’t be so much like the world
that we’re no different from it.

Wow, out of a very hectic day that's been non-stop since early morning, at 9 PM I watched this and for the first time, I paused. Thank you Cindy, for making me "think" about what I'm doing.
