Christians are clearly supposed to live among the non-believers and act as a light.

However, there is a balance that must always be considered.

On one hand, a Christian should be sharing the good news with those who have not heard it just like a beggar who finds a piece of bread might shout out to others where the bread can be found.

On the other hand, Christians need to be aware that participating in activities that cause or tempt them to sin is not a good thing. Hence, Christian community (or church) is a good thing.

So its a balance IMHO.
