Wisdom

Familiarity and Fluency

"My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world."
⏤ John 17:15-16,18

In the world, or of the world. We are distinct from the world, but not removed from it. We're not just waiting around. We have been sent with a purpose (to love the world). The essential skill is to be familiar with the world but fluent in the Kingdom.
