I understand why we must seperate ourselves from things of the world in terms of socializing or practicing those things. But if Christians completely isolate themselve from the above, could that make them spiritually naive, which could possibly paralyze them if they were forced, beyond their control, to see, hear, or experience those things in person ?
When I listen to or watch news coverage, documentaries, etc, about unrighteous acts, it's very disturbing to me, and I literally have to meditate on scriptures and pray for the Lord to return my thoughts to a place of peace and focus on Christ. How humans can digest these things on a daily basis is unbelievable to me.
It wasn't always this way, but since becoming a Christian, I'm very sensitive to what I see, hear, and experience. So should we have some exposure to avoid being overwhelmed and to stay aware, or should we continue to avoid as much as possible, and as we grow and mature spiritually tolerence will come when needed?
