Conforming is one of the easiest temptation to fall into.  Everybody likes to “fit in”.  No one likes to “stick out” and be different.  But that is what God has called his people to do ever since Abram when God asked him to circumcise everyone in his household.  But idea behind being different is because God has called his people to be holy and our “differences” are a picture of how God is “different” (i.e. separate from nature and not a part of nature: transcendence).  Plus it is how Jesus lived his life.  So remember Romans 12:2 and do not be conformed to the pattern of the world but let God transform you with a new (and different) life.
