I Corinthians 5:9-10
Excerpted from: Faith (Part 4)

There is no surer way to go backward in your spirituality, to blunt your feelings about sin, to dull your spiritual discernment until you can scarcely tell evil from good, and dry up the source of your spiritual strength, than in a needless mingling with the world. I stress needless because Paul writes in I Corinthians 5:9-10 that to avoid all contact with the immoral, one would have to go out of the world. There is nothing in the New Testament to indicate separating oneself by moving into a commune, ala David Koresh.

I Corinthians 5:9-10
Excerpted from: Debased Sodom

And I think he means completely, maybe go with Elon Musk to Mars or something. This is a spiritual admonition. We stand in a culture that closely mirrors the pride, excess, idleness, abominations, and debased condition of ancient Sodom. We are not called to isolate ourselves from the world, but we must not put down roots in it. Like Lot, we can linger too long. Like his wife, we can look back with longing. The warning is clear, and the invitation is personal.
