As Christians, we are to live in contrast with our culture. But if we live life God's way ...
... we may be falsely accused or misunderstood
... we may not be truly appreciated for our genuine love
... the true value we contribute may never be rewarded
... our ideas and attempts to contribute may be ignored or discounted
The Bible tells us to stand against our culture. Oddly enough, our culture concludes that anyone who stands against it is irrelevant.
