“Living Set Apart”
📖 “If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.”
—John 15:19 (NKJV)
Raising children in today’s culture can feel like swimming upstream.
The values of this world are loud, persuasive, and often completely opposite of the Word of God.
But Jesus reminds us—this is to be expected.
He has chosen us—and our children—out of the world.
We no longer belong to the world’s systems, values, or approval.
That means our homes should reflect Kingdom living:
- Truth over trends
- Holiness over hype
- Obedience over opinions
It won’t always be easy, but it’s always worth it.
Take time to remind your children that being different because of Jesus isn’t something to be ashamed of—it’s proof they belong to Someone greater.
Family Reflection:
- What parts of the world’s values do you see influencing your home?
- How can you help your children feel confident about being set apart for Christ?
Prayer:
Lord Jesus, thank You for calling our family out of the world and into Your Kingdom. Help us to live boldly, speak truth with love, and raise children who are not afraid to be different for You. Amen.
