"Do all things without murmurings and disputings: that ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world" Philippians 2:14-15. Doing things in love, without envy, strife, murmurings, and disputings, etc., marks us as unusual and different, which the world doesn't like nor does it tolerate. The world wants conformity, with no one allowed to be or to think differently. Our actions are expected to measure up to society's norm. If we don't laugh at dirty jokes, or lust after what the world defines as normal, we are considered unusual and will certainly be noticed.
Surely we can see that we stand out in this crooked and perverse world that we live in. Hopefully, we are standing out because of our righteous behavior. If so, we shine as lights in darkness in this present world. Now let us consider this, how bright is our light?
