We as Christians have a mandate to be nonconformists. The Apostle Paul, who knew the inner realities of he Christian faith, counseled, "Be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind." We are called to be people of conviction, not conformity; of moral nobility, not social respectability. We are commanded to live differently and according to a higher loyalty.
