When Peter is talking to the churches in 2 Peter 2 about Persecution, he brings up one interesting name: Lot. We don’t often remember Lot for his goodness, but Peter says that his “righteous soul was vexed” by the immorality that was around him daily. Daniel was in the same boat. Exiled in Babylon after the destruction of Judah, Daniel lived decades in a land that was pagan in every sense of the word: religiously, culturally, emotionally, and physically. Many of us know how those two men felt. How do we survive in a pagan world that is hostile to all things Christ? The same way they did.

CloseWhen Peter told the group in Acts 2:40 to "save yourselves from this perverse generation!", he didn't mean to die on the cross for your own sins. He meant to come out of that generation and be separate. Be different. Be holy. Be Christians. Today, a lot of people have a pharisaical mindset in regards to their salvation. They hear what God has to say, then erect additional layers to "safeguard" themselves. The result is more separation indeed, but often not the type they want.
