Do you consider yourself "different"? You should. As Christians we know something that sets us apart from the world. We know about our Savior and the salvation he won for us.

But being Christians—and being different—isn't always easy. Pastor Richard Lauersdorf reminds us about how we differ from the world and why it's important that we stand out and not hide because of our differences.

Other articles in this issue highlight how we as Christians can stand out in an unbelieving world.
