We are in the world, but not of it... Tammy strikes a nice balance in the importance of functioning within a culture yet remaining available to God for His purposes. I like the idea of Esther functioning within the Persian culture in order to be available "for such a time as this." If our gaze is fixed on the Savior, we can live in our society with confidence God will use us. Thanks, Tammy, for a thought-provoking article!
