Set Apart Girl Article

I thought I would pass on this article that a friend of mine recently wrote in the Set Apart Girl online Magazine! Well worth the read... :)

“It is not enough to go to church, to read you Bible occasionally, to say the right things.
You have to WALK out the Christian life.
It concerns me when I see all of the compromise that is going on in our world today, even among Christians.
Living a life truly set-apart for Christ is not just about staying a virgin until marriage, although that is highly respectable. We need to set a higher standard.

When “Sex and the City” becomes a highly watched show among Christians and a normal topic of conversation, I have to ask myself, “What has happened? Who is out there setting the standard?”

There is a world out there that is suffering. There are people next to you that need to hear a kind word. There is someone that is struggling because no one has reached out to them. There is a boy or girl who doesn’t “fit in” with the popular group and they cannot reach out on their own. Our mission field is where we are at the present moment. God may not call you to Haiti. He might not ask you to live in Africa or India or go work in the ghettos of New York. But, He will ask you to do something. He will require you to give up what you want for what He wants.

I challenge you with the question today, “What is God requiring of you?” Are you willing to give up your will for His will? The beauty of that is the closer we get to God, the more we desire what He desires. He desires a life set-apart, do you?”
