Be Distinct is a study of 2 Kings and 2 Chronicles. These two books describe the consequences Israel faced as she conformed to the world and it’s immorality and idol worship instead of being distinct from it and following God. These consequences last only for a season because God promises: “if my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land” (‭‭2 Chronicles‬ ‭7‬:‭14‬).

“blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world” (Philippians‬ ‭2‬:‭15‬). ( )
