From today's reading: Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God-what is good and acceptable and perfect. Romans 12:2
This tells us to be transformed by the renewing of our minds - and we renew our minds by the study and reading and hearing of God's word. Elsewhere Paul tells us that he becomes "all things to all people so that he might win some for Christ." 1 Cor. 9:22
I think that we should not be afraid to be in the world, but we must maintain our connection with God through our transformed minds. Because it is only through being in the world that we will find those people who are in desperate need of God. And it is only through our knowledge of God that we are able to find the words necessary to make a difference in their world and bring them before God. That is what is good and acceptable and perfect in God's eyes.
