"Making a Positively Good difference"
In Matthew 10:16-22 God said that He was sending
the Kingdom people forth as sheep
in the midst of wolves.
The "World," is
by nature apart from,
and in opposition to,
God.
Those who are in the world and of the world
stand in opposition to the Kingdom of God.
Their actions, thoughts, and values
are focused on pleasing self for people
and they are usually focusing on earthly, fleshly,
and temporal life activities, values, and/or plans
as opposed to heavenly, spiritual, and eternal activities,
values, and/or plans.
We must remain awake and alert...
being in the world and not of the world
because Satan utilizes willing subjects
to oppose God's Kingdom.
Those who are in the world and of the world
have a basic part and a great portion
of the kingdom of Satan... Lucifer... the devil.
We know that our relationship with God
is of much greater value than any cravings for power,
spotlights, partying, playing,
or superficial-worldly allurements.
We are reminded to avoid the snares,
allurements, and pretensions of this world.
Material possessions, money, fame, fortune, prominence,
drugs, sex, neediness of acceptance,
approval, validation, or applause from people
may gain ground with people,
for a while,
but Jesus taught that our focus should be
away from this world...
and placed upon the things of God’s kingdom...
which have real value and will have no end.
The word world refers to
a world system ruled by Satan.
As believers, we should be
set apart from the world.
We should be living a more righteous life...
walking in God's Will
and not engaging ourselves in
the dark activities the world promotes,
nor should we desire to retain the tasteless,
corrupt mindset that the world creates.
Being “in” the world also means
we can enjoy God's amazing creation,
and not get caught up
in the mindset of what the world values.
Being in the world, but not of it
is necessary if...
we are to be a light to those
in spiritual darkness.
May we live in such a way that others,
no matter where they are,
will see...
something “different” about us
and desire to know...
the Source of our joy.
