Jesus says “be in this world but not of this world”…
Where does Jesus say this in the Bible? I have heard this phrase a lot and I haven’t been able to find this verse in the Bible.
Are you referring to Romans 12:2 where it is Paul who says “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”
Am I missing this verse that you put in quotes?

Who are the “lost,” and how does God respond to them? God takes special effort in seeking out the lost. Were you ever summonded by God to help a person who was lost as Jesus carried out his mission from start to finish that God asked him to do for us. Can any of us (Christians) say that we actually did all we could have to help a person who was lost – through Christ who strengthens us? Or did we selfishly give up when things got tough. I can’t even imagine what this world would be like if Jesus had given up so easily on us simply because things got tough… I’d might conclude that maybe He didn’t really love us as much as he said He did. But because He gave His only begotten son who yes died for our sins so that we too may have everlasting life. I know that – God (truly) loves us.

It sound like I may want to add this to my library.

I am a ministry leader in Texas for a WONDERFUL 12 step program for Christians dealing with many many issues from abuse, addictions,anger, grief etc. It is called “Celebrate Recovery” and was created 19 years ago by John Baker and Rick Warren of Saddleback church. This program is in many countries all over the world and in every state in the USA. I am a recovering addict myself and also deal with childhood abuse issues and this is one of the best programs I have ever seen when it comes to working the 12 steps.
