Jesus told His followers to be in the world but not of it. Yet it seems to me we've not only accepted the worlds approach, we've even created a cloned parallel world where we take all the things we see as bad away and isolate ourselves from the very work we're sent to do.
The kingdom parables in the Bible speak of being integrated in the world (wheat and weeds for example) but it seems we have put ourselves aside in an ivory tower of our making and wonder why the world is going to hell in a handbasket.
Why do we have this parallel world of christian bookstores, authors, schools, vacation resorts, publishers, musicians, recording labels, software companies.... and the list just goes on and on?
