Having diagnosed the world's lies, Comer now turns to the question of how to actually live differently — how to be, as the New Testament puts it, in the world but not of it.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Comer resists two bad options: world-flight (retreating into a Christian subculture and disengaging from the broader world) and world-accommodation (simply blending in). What is his proposed third way, and how does he describe it?
2.He draws on 1 Peter's description of Christians as 'exiles' and 'sojourners' — people who live in a place without ultimately belonging to it. How does that metaphor land for you? Do you feel like an exile in your culture, or do you feel pretty much at home?
3.Comer argues that the primary way Christians resist the world is not through political activism or culture-war tactics but through the quality of life in the church community — an embodied alternative that makes the kingdom visible. Do you find this vision compelling? What are its limitations, if any?
