Romans 12:2 - "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will."
OK, so we can pretty much succeed in not "conforming to the pattern of the world." But how can we be transformed by the renewing of our minds? One big help I have found is to be in God's Word on a daily basis. Another way is to study God's Word and fellowship with other believers on a regular basis. It is very hard to "isolate" ourselves from the world - we do have to be in the workplace, we have to take business trips, we need to visit unbelieving family members, etc. With God's Word in our inventory and repertoire, we can be firmly insulated from the world while not isolated from it.
