The world is deteriorating around us. The world is under the judgment of God because it has rejected Him. As part of that judgment God has turned those in rejection of Him over to their darkened hearts. Believers in contrast, who have received Him and His message, are to stand out as lights to the world.

Emphasizing sameness between diverse groups leads to the corruption of God's Word and what He intends His people to be, and be doing.
