Are you a thermometer — adjusting to the temperature of the culture, or are you a thermostat — changing the climate of the culture? If you are a conformer, a thermometer, here’s the problem: You’re in for perpetual frustration because by the time you take the temperature and figure out what’s hot, by the time you change your look, or buy the car, or redo your house — the world will have moved on, leaving you out of style. Truly, this is a great mystery to a lot of Christians. They try to make their ministries relatable by analyzing what the world is doing in order to emulate it. But by the time they figure it out and implement it, the world has moved on. That’s why Christians are known for being out of style.
What’s the key? Don’t be a thermometer. Be a thermostat. Don’t be a conformer, be a transformer. Say, ‘I’m in a whole different place than you are, world.
I’m living for eternity.
I’m preparing for the Kingdom.
I’m headed for Heaven.’
