Preached Sunday morning, August 18th.
1 John 2:15-17
The world is a system or culture of values and attitudes that are built and led by the devil to be what he wants it to be. May God help us to live for what is eternal. When we choose to love the world, we're choosing to live for things that will pass away and won't matter.
"Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever."
