As Christians, we are not called to isolate ourselves from
culture. We are not called to be hermits or monks. Instead, we are
to recognize that we are in a world of darkness and live as light
-- not as little candles tucked away in some inner bedroom, but as
candles set on their stands so all can see their light or cities on
a hill that can't be hidden. Of course, our goal is not to call
attention to ourselves, but to help others see the glorious grace
of our Father.
