Well yeah, Phroze, but if you read 2 Timothy 3, you’ll get a better understanding of what I mean. I’m not disagreeing with you at all, you’re actually right. Yeah, it’s so easy to become caught up in that, along with the norms and values of society, which are governed by the world. There are so many ideas about what is right and wrong swirling around us every day — images and words are constantly sent through the media that are designed to get our focus off the Word of God and on what the world says is acceptable.
Right, you’re correct. But, you can be in the world, but not of it, which means that while we live on this earth, we are always going to be surrounded by the corrupt influences of this system of thought that opposes God. I can’t do anything about being surrounded by it. However, I can control whether I’m OF it or not.
