5/15/12 There is a famous theologian who came up with that line that Christians were to be "in the world, but not of the world." It is very similiar to what Jesus says in his prayer for his followers in John 15:15, "I am not asking you to take them our of the world, but I ask you to protect them from the evil one." We believers understand that we are here in this world but for a short time. Our true identity comes not from our DNA, or the environment, but from our Creator, Redeemer, Sustainer God. Jesus offers us the comfort that although we may find ourselves in conflict with this world, he is praying for our protection.
Love,
