A.W. Tozer emphasizes that the Church's greatest influence comes from its distinctiveness from the world. He argues that the Church's power is directly proportional to how different it is from society, and that attempts to conform to worldly standards dilute its effectiveness. Tozer warns against the dangers of compromise, asserting that true believers are morally and spiritually separated from the world. He highlights that similarity to the world signifies a decline in the Church's character and mission. The sermon calls for a return to the Church's unique identity as a reflection of God's kingdom.
