Romans 12:2 "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind."
Paul instructs us to not conform to the pattern of this world. What exactly does this mean? Am I conforming to this world if I own a car, ride a bike, listen to music, order a pizza, vote, wave a flag, or watch TV? Where exactly is the line between living as a Christian in this world and just plain living in this world? It's something every Christian must wrestle with. But I don't think this looks the same for every Christian. As it says in Hebrews, some peoples faith allows them to eat anything, for others, their faith restricts them. I think wherever we draw the lines, we must do so thoughtfully and with confidence. And we must be careful to not judge others unless it is blatantly sinful. This is a good topic and I could babble on for hours about it. Another time...
