What makes the Christian life different? One of my favorite Scripture verses answers that question. The apostle Paul explained the difference in his message to the believers in Galatia.

“It’s ok for a boat to be in the water but not vice versa.” These words illustrate exactly the relationship of the Christian and the world. The Lord Jesus Christ prayed to the Father on our behalf, “[not] that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one.” (John 17:15) More →
