How can I live in the world not of the world? | 412teens.org

In John 15:19, Jesus reminds us that we’re not “of the world,” which means we shouldn’t be LIKE the world. But does that mean that we aren’t allowed to enjoy hobbies, video games, movies, and things like that? Are they of the world? Let’s talk about living life in the world, not of the world.

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” -- Romans 12:2

I think when it comes to asking questions, every Christian’s answer will be different and when it comes to setting boundaries it’s different for each Christian and having discernment is gonna be different for every Christian especially when it comes to Roman’s 14 too That includes me and that also includes Christian UA-camrs that are against horror movies or even secular music.
I still don’t know what non spiritual interest even means
Can you guys also do a video about God wanting to hang out with us thru our entertainment like secular music/ Christian music and even thru horror movies and movies, video games, comic books in general

You are absolutely right that so much of the nuances how we live our lives are going to be super specific to each individual. A "non-spiritual" interest might be considered anything that is not an active meditation on growing your faith. Those active meditations could be prayer, studying God's Word, worshiping in church, participating in a group Bible study, etc.
We've done a ton of videos on special interests, and the message we continue to send is that it is up to each individual to INVITE God into their activities. It's no more complicated than that! You can also think about the fruit of the Spirit and how you can practice those traits through the other activities in your life.

@@davidsmither95 I don't quite understand your question... Are the audio versions of the Bible included where?

[@davidsmither95]

@@412teens is the audio version of the Bible included as a active meditation just like reading the Bible, prayer and stuff like those. Also, can a Christian do online church since they are available online like on social media like Facebook.

@@davidsmither95 Oh, I see! Yes, if you are actively listening to the Bible, that is meditating on God's Word as well--just as it would "count" as reading if you listened to an audiobook. After all, those who cannot read for whatever reason (such as being visually impaired) can still study God's Word by listening!
And online church is a great way to "attend" church if you don't have access to a good, Bible-teaching church or cannot attend for some reason (such as illness, disability, distance, etc.) We have an article on this topic here: 412teens.org/qna/what-if-I-cannot-go-to-church.php
We would still encourage you to find a Christian community (even if online) to help you learn, grow, and serve. We weren't meant to go it alone!
