Chapter 3

Worldly Living vs Living in the World

​​

It is easy to get swept up in the current of culture. Standards slide, values drift, and compromise begins to feel normal. Too many believers end up mirroring what surrounds them instead of influencing it.

​

Jesus prayed that His people would live in the world but not be of it. That means being present without being polluted, engaged without being entangled. Influence comes when faith remains distinct even in everyday life.

​

The challenge is to draw the line with clarity and grace. Work, friendships, and service to the community can thrive without losing a clear allegiance to Christ. The goal is not to escape the world but to shine in it.
