Worldliness & Conformity
Being in the world does not mean we have to be of the world. Think of it like a plant that is not deeply rooted; if it is placed in soil filled with weeds, it will soon struggle to survive. When we align ourselves with people or systems that do not share our faith, we are essentially changing the 'climate' of our lives. If we are not daily feeding on the truth of the Word of almighty God, we inevitably begin to mirror the values and habits of those we walk with. We are called to be distinct, not to blend in. Be mindful of who you allow to influence your growth, and stay firmly planted in your convictions.
2 Corinthians 6:14: Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion has light with darkness?
1 Corinthians 15:33: "Do not be deceived: 'Evil company corrupts good habits.
Romans 12:2: "And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
