^ Act in line, in truth

Galatians 2:11
When Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he was clearly in the wrong. 12Before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles. But when they arrived, he began to draw back and separate himself from the Gentiles because he was afraid of those who belonged to the circumcision group. 13The other Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that by their hypocrisy even Barnabas was led astray.
14When I saw that they were not acting in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter in front of them all, "You are a Jew, yet you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew. How is it, then, that you force Gentiles to follow Jewish customs?

1. Living the truth of the gospel causes you to live Differently.
2. Not based on who is around you. Does fear creep in?
3. Does my actions stumble other Christians around me? What testimony am i?

We need to live in manner that counter cultures the world. How else will the world see you are different for Christ's sake. But sometimes, in front of my parents or even certain superiors I act as if I am not a Christian. I feel fearful at times. But today, I felt Paul's rebuke right at my face. Situations and circumstance doesn't put you in a spot of compromise but rather its you who choose to or NOT to live in compromise. May I have a Mindset change. The word is "Different", i wanna know how to live that out...

I want to live in such manner, may it cause a stir in faith in the heart of the christians around me.
