In The World But Not Of It

When you believe that this world is real, you put it above God, and this engenders fear. For you cannot believe in both. By believing that the world is real, you are giving "reality" to something that has no substance. It is as if you were watching a play on stage, and when a murder occurs as part of the play, you call the police and insist that the actor committing the murder be arrested. This does not mean that we don't participate in the world because it is not real. We are meant to be in the world but not of it. We are meant to bring Heaven on earth through our actions and words, as we are God's hands and feet. But we must do this through a higher perspective.
