Do you feel entangled with the world?

When we demonstrate a life of friendship with the world, we become characterized by the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life. (see I John 2:16) And once we are entangled in the world, we find ourselves trapped, living a life of bondage rather than a life of freedom in Christ.

But…you don’t have to STAY entangled!

Sometimes I find myself a bit overwhelmed with the collision that is happening with Christ-followers and culture today. It makes me long for Jesus to return and take us home to heaven. But then I remember what Jesus prayed in John 17. He didn’t ask the Father to take us out of the world; but instead, to be protected from the evil one.

I believe that brings us to the mission and purpose Jesus gave us before He returned to the Father - be light in a world of darkness, be hope in a world of lostness and be truth in a world of lies.
