It is tempting to shelter ourselves in a comfortable circle of believers and simply avoid contact with the lost world around us. That sounds so safe and easy, but it’s exactly the opposite of what God intended for His followers. As Pastor Ray reminds us in today’s message, God intends for us to be in the world. We don’t need to be afraid of corruption by proximity. He has set us apart and we are part of His kingdom. The world will see His love and grace at work in us and be drawn to it.
