A Peculiar People

What does an awakened people look like?

Well, they look peculiar. What’s another way to say it? Well, I guess you could say, we are unique, set apart, or just living in the Kingdom of God.

What does it mean to be a peculiar person? Peculiar people do things God’s way. We look different than the world. God would say we are a chosen people, and so we need to act like it.

If we begin to act like peculiar people and develop peculiar habits, the habits of the people would become the habits of the church, and at that point, we would become more effective in fulfilling the vision of the church.

Several weeks ago, I gave you 7 habits of peculiar people to help you become more effective in your walk with the Lord. Remember the bookmark I gave you? Allow me to refresh your memory. Peculiar people:

· Understand Scripture as the guide for their daily life

· Seek God daily in prayer

· Are devoted to following Christ no matter what

· Live each day guided by the Holy Spirit

· Are accountable to God’s house and His people

· Are obedient in separating themselves from the spirit of the world

· Seek to serve the body out of thanks to God

Think about these habits… take an inventory. Who are you becoming more like? Are you living the habits? A highly effective church is full of people with habits that make a difference not only in their lives, but also in their community.

I believe these habits will impact your life unto to the fourth generation.

If it quacks like a duck, then it’s probably a duck…you are a peculiar people so be peculiar.

Love,

Pastor Steve
