It is nearly impossible to avoid the pressure to be and to think like everyone else around us. It starts at the youngest age, we want to fit in! We don’t want to be singled out or targeted, we want to be loved and accepted, even if it comes at the cost of changing who we are like a chameleon. I think it’s fear at the core. Insecurities, anxiety, we fear being alone. And so all of us humans deal with this pressure and YET if you are a Christian, a genuine believer, and a follower of Jesus you are called to live in a culture without becoming a part of it. So practically, how in the world are we supposed to accomplish that? I think everyone has their own ideas, and their own excuses, for what being in the world but not of the world means, and no that is not the verse we are looking at today. We are going to read how we accomplish that, practically.
