Are You Willing To Be Weird?

 

Today's verse is 1 Peter 4:4

Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:

    Has not our God called us to be a peculiar people? Would not strange in the context above be but a synonym of this word “peculiar?” But what of this word that we are currently hearing, even the word “weird?” This word is not found in my Bible, but can it not be also counted as a synonym of this word peculiar? So, today, if excess of riot is counted normal, and considering that God called me to be a part of a peculiar people anyway, I do not think I would be ashamed of being called weird. If fact, as long as I can remember, it was early on that I learned that being different was not a bad thing, so I have rarely if ever been ashamed to be called weird. What of you, do you wish to be of God’s peculiar treasure, of his peculiar people, or “normal” in the eyes of the World. Selah [Take care of your choice, it has eternal ramifications.] Amen.

To God be the Glory
