(ThyBlackMan.com) When I’m out in public sometimes I often look around at everyone and wonder which of these people are Christans and which of them are not. It’s sometimes very hard to tell the difference. I mean everyone is wearing the same type of clothing, having the same types of conversations, and carrying themselves no different that anyone else.
How are we going to be a light to the world if we do not let our light shine? 
As Christians we are SUPPOSED to be different and stand out from the crowd. If we are “fitting in” then something is wrong.
If I am a Christian male and my pants are sagging just as much as the guy who is not saved how am I influencing him to do any better. I understand that no person is perfect and we should all be renewing our minds on a daily basis, so I’m not judging anyone, but as Christians we should set an example for people to follow as we follow Christ. We should never allow ourselves to be brainwashed by societal norms when we have the Word of God to stand on. If you do not stand for something you will fall for anything.
Our choices have to be those that are informed by the Holy Spirit. As my pastor said this Sunday we should do things that do not displease God. Pressure from our peers or so-called friends only hinder us from being all that God called us to be. Even when looking for a mate, as a man of God I find that task daunting at times because some of our women of God are wearing the same “freakum dresses” as they call it, that some worldly women wear. I’m not saying that you should judge a woman’s value by her attire, but how can I tell the difference between the two?
We are all a work in progress, but that is no excuse not to try our very best everyday and continue to be “a cut above” as children of the Most High God!
