1 JOHN 2:15-17
“DO NOT LOVE THE WORLD OR THE THINGS IN THE WORLD. IF ANYONE LOVES THE WORLD, THE LOVE OF THE FATHER IS NOT IN HIM. FOR ALL THAT IS IN THE WORLD- THE DESIRES OF THE FLESH AND THE DESIRES OF THE EYES AND PRIDE IN POSSESSIONS- IS NOT FROM THE FATHER BUT IS FROM THE WORLD. AND THE WORLD IS PASSING AWAY ALONG WITH ITS DESIRES BUT WHOEVER DOES THE WILL OF GOD ABIDES FOREVER.”

I’ve been thinking about this Scriptures since I read yesterday’s Girl Talk blog. (http://girltalk.blogs.com/girltalk/2008/09/worldliness-res.html) I encourage you to read it. I don’t know the answer to the questions of where the line is drawn between worldliness and godliness but I do know that I want to find out. I do know that I do not want to love this present world. I do know that I want to treasure Christ above all things. I’m looking forwards to CJ Mahaney's new book on Worldliness. I know I need help in this area? Do you?
