It's Time To Be Different - Caleb Willis

1 Peter 1:14-16 (NIV) 
 
As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: "Be holy, because I am holy." 
 
1. Living in the Presence 
 
Then Moses said to him, "If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here. How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us? What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?" 
Exodus 33:15-16 (NIV) 
 
2. Change the way you think 
 
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will. 
Romans 12:2 (NIV) 
 
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things. 
Philippians 4:8 (NIV) 
 
3. Change the way we speak 
 
With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God's likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be. 
James 3:9-10 (NIV) 
 
The tongue has the power of life and death, 
and those who love it will eat its fruit. 
Proverbs 18:21 (NIV) 
 
4. Live a life walking in the Spirit 
 
So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. 
Galatians 5:16-18 (NIV) 
 
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 
Galatians 5:22-24 (NIV) 
 
Living in the Spirit isn't living a life of doing more external religious activities and performances. Rather its living submitted and surrounded to the leading of the Holy Spirit
