In the World – Not of It: Study Guide

By John L. Wheeler

“Do not love the world or the things in the world.” The command is familiar, but its meaning deserves careful consideration. What is the world that must not be loved? How does it influence us? And what does it mean to live within it without belonging to it?

In the World – Not of It: Study Guide accompanies the book’s examination of these questions. Each session follows a single chapter, helping readers move carefully through its teaching and consider what governs the heart, influences the mind, and ultimately directs the life.

The questions are intended to slow the reader down, encourage thoughtful consideration, and make room for reflection. Rather than simply repeating the companion book or gathering information, the guide asks readers to bring its meaning into clearer focus and examine its implications for themselves.

This study concerns neither withdrawal from the world nor the mastery of a set of outward behaviors. Its central concern is the believer’s relationship to the world and the reality of belonging to Christ. That reality shapes life quietly, steadily, and consistently. The guide invites readers to see it more clearly and to consider how it should shape the way they live.
