Devotion: It's Good to Be Weird

Often God calls us not to conform to the culture around us. Instead, he wants us to stand out for his special purposes. In the Bible, everything from people to animals to even cities were "set apart" for the Lord. Traditional Russian culture considered non-conformists to be "holy fools" who brought messages from God. If you don't fit in, it might just be that God has plans for you. Subscribe to this channel to find inspirational Christian devotions by Rev.
