What does it mean to be no part of this world? Some professed "Christians" vote and celebrate unscriptural holidays. The Bible says, "Don't you realize that friendship with the world makes you an enemy of God? I say it again: If you want to be a friend of the world, you make yourself an enemy of God."

However, that does not mean that all [...]
