It’s all about perspective (the lens through which we filter & view life); passion (what it is that consumes our heart, time, thoughts, and emotional investment---essentially what it is that drives us) and priorities (what it is we value, what or who is most important to us). If our perspective, passion and priorities are under the influence of the Holy Spirit and guided by the truth of God’s Word, our identity will be defined by whom we are in Christ rather than defined by the world’s standards. If we know who we are, and essentially Whose we are, where we are, that is, “in the world”... will not matter. (Romans 12:1-2)
1 And so, dear brothers and sisters,[a] I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him.[b] 2 Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
